The position ensures uninterrupted facility and equipment operations, minimizes downtime in our high-volume manufacturing environment, controls costs, optimizes inventory for indirect items, and supports supply chain resilience in the fast-evolving U.S. solar market.

Key Responsibilities

1. Review and process purchase requisitions for MRO items and services; prepare requests for quotes (RFQs), evaluate supplier proposals based on quality, delivery, cost, and reliability; place purchase orders and manage the full procurement cycle from requisition to receipt and payment.

5. Lead the development and implementation of structured MRO procurement processes, including standardization of requisition workflows, supplier catalog management, approval hierarchies, and best practices for indirect spend control, to improve efficiency, traceability, and compliance across the organization.
6. Ensure strong internal alignment by collaborating closely with Maintenance, Engineering, Quality Assurance, Warehouse, Production, Facilities, and other stakeholders to understand needs, prioritize critical spares/services, resolve discrepancies, and align MRO strategies with overall operational goals.
7. Prepare and present regular reports on MRO spend, supplier on-time delivery, cost savings, inventory levels and health, planned vs. actual usage, and potential risks; contribute MRO insights to cross-functional meetings, including maintenance planning and S&OP processes.
8. Support supplier development, cost reduction initiatives (e.g., consolidation, negotiations, blanket orders), and risk mitigation strategies (e.g., dual sourcing for critical spares) to align with Hounen Solar's goals of operational efficiency, high reliability, and cost-competitive domestic manufacturing.

Qualifications & Requirements Education: Associate's degree or higher in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.

Experience:

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for cross-functional and cross-cultural collaboration;
• Detail-oriented, data-driven, and proactive with strong analytical and forecasting abilities;
