• A hands‑on, can‑do mentality
• Strong communication skills and decisiveness, with the ability to switch quickly between different stakeholders
• A completed bachelor’s degree (or equivalent level)
• 3+ years of procurement experience in a production or project-driven environment
• Affinity with or experience in a technical environment
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in Dutch and English (German is a plus)

Your daily responsibilities include

• Supporting the sales team during the RFQ process towards our customer; your role is to obtain the right prices and conditions from both existing and new suppliers, enabling Neways to submit a competitive offer.
• Ensuring timely availability of materials and services to deliver the first products to customers.
