About The Role
The Procurement Engineer is an individual contributor who will own and build Flow's procurement function across our KSA portfolio, with an immediate focus on FF&E, facilities, and operational supplies for our residential communities in Riyadh. Reporting to the Head of Program Design & Development, MENA – Physical Delivery, this is a hands-on, KSA-based role combining strategic sourcing, vendor management, cost control, and execution. The Procurement Engineer is accountable for ensuring the right products are sourced at the right quality and cost — and delivered on time.
Key Responsibilities :
Own end-to-end procurement across FF&E, facilities, and operational categories in KSA — ensuring quality, cost, and delivery requirements are consistently met.
Build and manage a strong supplier network across KSA, negotiating pricing, contracts, commercial terms, and service levels.
Lead RFQ and competitive bidding processes, evaluate suppliers, and conduct regular performance reviews with key partners.
Maintain complete and accurate procurement documentation, including POs, contracts, invoices, vendor records, order acknowledgements, and freight documentation.
Manage purchasing workflows from request through delivery, coordinating closely with Design & Development, Facilities, Operations, and Finance.
Maintain accurate ERP records for orders, costs, receipts, inventory, and related procurement data.
Monitor KSA market pricing, supply conditions, and vendor performance to identify cost savings and reduce supply risk.
Ensure compliance with Saudi regulations including SASO standards, VAT documentation, Saudization (Nitaqat) obligations, and import requirements.
Anticipate supply requirements, identify potential disruptions early, and develop alternative sourcing solutions.
Continuously improve procurement processes, reporting, systems, and controls as Flow scales.
