I’m looking for a hands-on specialist who can take full ownership of material procurement and preparation for my current steel structure job. The fabrication drawings, quantities and preferred suppliers are ready; what I need now is rock-solid follow-through to make sure the standard steel sections and plates leave the vendor on time and arrive at my workshop in perfect condition. Your focus will be the logistics and delivery side of procurement: • Confirm the purchase orders with the chosen stockists or mills and lock in realistic dispatch dates. • Track every shipment door-to-door, coordinating with freight forwarders, customs agents and the workshop receiving team so there are no surprises. • Verify heat numbers, mill test certificates and packing lists against the bill of materials before anything is released for fabrication. • Issue concise, daily status updates highlighting any real or potential delays and the corrective actions you’ve triggered. Experience with structural-steel supply chains, MTC review, Incoterms and common ERP or tracking tools (SAP, Oracle, Trimble, Excel-based trackers—whatever you like to work in) will be essential. If you have previously shepherded multi-truck or container loads of beams, plates and fittings into fabrication shops, that’s exactly the background I’m hoping for. Deliverables are straightforward: a live tracking spreadsheet (or dashboard), scanned/photographed QA documents for each heat/lot, and a brief close-out report once all material is on site. Quality, accuracy and on-time delivery are critical to the success of this project. If you thrive on keeping steel moving smoothly through the supply pipeline, let’s talk.

- Day one: I build a live Excel tracker with every PO line, supplier, confirmed dispatch date, shipment status, heat numbers and MTC status. - I confirm each PO and dispatch date with the stockists and mills, then chase every shipment door to door with the forwarders, customs agents and your workshop receiving team. - On arrival I check heat numbers, MTCs and packing lists against the bill of materials, and flag any mismatch before the material reaches the workshop. - You get a short daily update: what is late, why, and what I am doing about it. A close-out report when the last delivery lands. That covers your deliverables: the live tracker, QA documents per heat and lot, and the close-out report.
