Your mission

You own procurement across the full project lifecycle – from RFQ to delivery – and build the commercial framework that supports our multi-site rollout. This means driving competitive sourcing for equipment and services, negotiating master supply agreements with key vendors, and ensuring contract terms protect TURN2X on quality, schedule, and liability. You work closely with Engineering and Project Management and report directly to the CTO.
