• Define construction methods, material specifications, and acceptance criteria for civil works, trenching, concrete, MND/HDD, fiber splicing, power systems, HVAC, and network retrofits.
• Prepare technical method statements and acceptance checklists.
• Coordinate with clients and subcontractors to obtain written approval of technical specifications before finalizing pricing.

4.Cost Analysis and Price Evaluation

• Develop should-cost models and regional cost benchmarks to assess supplier quotations.
• Evaluate detailed cost structures, including labor, equipment, materials, transportation, accommodation, overhead, profit margins, and applicable taxes.
• Conduct comparative bid analysis and assess price competitiveness and reasonableness.
• Identify regional cost variations and potential tax implications affecting long-term contracts.

5.Reporting and Stakeholder Coordination

• Provide weekly procurement reports in English to the headquarters procurement team.
• Monitor sourcing progress, quotation status, pricing benchmarks, and procurement risks.
• Support contract negotiations, SLA and penalty definition, and supplier handover to project delivery teams.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in telecom procurement, OSP infrastructure, fiber optic deployment, or telecommunications network rollout projects.
• Previous hands-on involvement in telecom infrastructure programs in a Purchasing, Project Manager, or Project Director capacity.
• Demonstrated experience managing subcontractors and suppliers across multiple Brazilian states.
• Established network of regional subcontractors, particularly in the Northern and Northeastern regions of Brazil.
• Strong understanding of telecom civil works, fiber optic installation, tower infrastructure, MND/HDD, power systems, and network deployment standards.
• Ability to interpret incomplete technical BOQs and translate them into construction specifications, method statements, and acceptance criteria.
• Strong expertise in procurement execution, RFQ management, commercial negotiations, cost breakdown analysis, and supplier evaluation.
