CULTURE: HOW WE WORK (MANDATED STANDARDS)
These are not aspirational values. They are mandatory operating standards for the Business Development Department. Every team member is evaluated against these behaviors.
- Continuous Improvement: We constantly elevate our processes and the quality of our work. It is standard practice to think ahead and anticipate the next two steps. If you are not improving, you are falling behind.
- Attention to Detail: There are no small things. High precision, focus, and thoroughness are built into the foundation of every daily task. Sloppy work is not tolerated.
- Fast Sync: We value each other's time and project momentum. The standard is to reply across all channels within a couple of hours. This keeps workflow smooth and truly agile.
- Team Support: Any major success is a shared achievement. Our culture is rooted in a readiness to always step up and support colleagues. We only succeed together.
- Proactivity and Persistence: Mere execution is common. We bank on proactive thinking. Giving up is not in our vocabulary. If one approach fails, we analyze, keep trying, and always find an alternative.
Working at WeedeN also means embracing a startup mindset: we move fast, adapt quickly, and build as we go. Transparency is non-negotiable. We share openly, give and take direct feedback, and put the customer first in every decision.
REQUIRED SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONSHard Skills
- Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Supply Chain, Business, or related field (equivalent practical experience also considered).
- 4+ years in procurement, with hands-on construction or fit-out procurement as the core — retail or multi-site commercial environments preferred.
- Ability to read BOQ, construction drawings, and contractor proposals, and to build standardized comparisons across multiple bids.
- Proven experience sourcing and procuring equipment, furniture, and building materials — including specification review and bulk-purchase negotiation.
- Strong negotiation skills with vendors, contractors, and suppliers. Demonstrated track record of delivering documented cost savings.
- Hands-on experience with overseas sourcing — China sourcing experience (factory search, supplier vetting, negotiation) is a strong preference. Chinese language is a plus, not a requirement.
- Working knowledge of contract terms, purchase orders, and supplier agreements.
- Confident user of Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets for cost tracking, tender comparison, and reporting.
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD (or similar CAD software) to read and review shop/production drawings; able to adapt to the department’s software and systems.
- Experience with stock / inventory control in a multi-site environment; familiarity with ERP inventory modules (Odoo or similar) is a plus
Soft Skills
- Commercial hunter mindset. You treat every order as a chance to save money without losing quality. You find where to trim — even on small items, even by buying in bulk — and you can prove the saving with numbers.
- Quality-aware buyer. You do not chase the lowest price blindly. You check specifications, inspect samples, verify factory output, and you can explain a quality trade-off to a non-technical stakeholder.
- Structured and analytical. You turn a pile of quotations into a clear, comparable picture. You show what costs what, where the risk is, and where the company can save.
- Calm negotiator. You hold your position with suppliers and contractors, handle pushback, and close terms without burning the relationship.
- Clear communicator in Thai (required) and English (good working level desired). You coordinate with foreign management and explain commercial findings clearly.
Education and Other Requirements
- Additional certification in architecture, procurement, supply chain, or quantity surveying is a plus.
- Valid driver's license.
- Willingness to travel occasionally to store sites and supplier locations, including overseas supplier visits when required.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Construction Tender Management
- Run the full tender process for store construction projects: prepare tender packages, collect a minimum of 5 contractor proposals, and standardize them against a common BOQ.
- Build clear, comparable bid analyses showing cost differences, scope gaps, and risk for each proposal.
- Receive contractor recommendations from Construction Managers and regional teams, verify them against cost estimates, and present a structured comparison.
- Present tender findings to the Head of Construction \& Project Management — the Head determines the final contractor selection based on cost analysis and other parameters. This role prepares and recommends; it does not make the final selection.
2. Material \& Equipment Procurement
- Procure building materials, fixtures, and store equipment for new builds and existing stores. (including IT equipment and furniture by requested specification).
- Propose alternative materials and identify potential suppliers aligned with technical requirements.
- Consolidate orders and negotiate bulk pricing so even small items are bought at the lowest viable cost.
- Review shop production drawings and specifications with the Construction and Design teams to ensure procured items meet brand and functional standards.
- Plan procurement timelines so materials and equipment arrive ahead of construction need, without delaying any store opening.
3. Contractor, Furniture \& Factory Sourcing
- Independently source and vet furniture suppliers, equipment vendors, and material factories — including overseas and China-based suppliers.
- Build and maintain a documented base of approved suppliers and factories, with performance records.
- Conduct supplier evaluation: production capacity, quality history, lead times, and commercial terms.
- Maintain ongoing relationships with key suppliers and continuously search for better-value alternatives.
4. Cost Analysis \& Savings Identification
- Analyze project budgets and BOQ estimates to identify where the company can save without compromising specification or brand standard.
- Track and document every saving achieved against the approved estimate or independent baseline.
- Recommend alternative materials, suppliers, or purchasing methods that reduce cost while holding quality.
- Flag cost risks and budget overruns early to the Head of Construction \& Project Management.
5. Contract Management \& Negotiation
- Negotiate scope, pricing, payment terms, and delivery schedules - including lead times and strict deadlines - with suppliers and contractors.
- Prepare contracts and purchase orders for sign-off, ensuring clear and enforceable terms.
- Ensure every purchase above the approved threshold is covered by proper contractual documentation.
- Track contract obligations and supplier compliance through delivery and payment.
6. Quality Control of Procured Goods
- Verify that procured materials, furniture, and equipment meet agreed specifications before payment release.
- Inspect samples and, where relevant, factory output — including for overseas suppliers — to confirm quality before bulk orders proceed.
- Document quality checks per order. Note: quality control of on-site construction workmanship remains with the Construction Manager; this role controls the quality of what is purchased.
7. Reporting \& Coordination
- Submit weekly procurement and tender status reports: savings tracking, open tenders, supplier issues, and risk flags.
- Maintain organized records of tenders, contracts, purchase orders, supplier evaluations, and savings documentation.
- Coordinate procurement needs and timelines with Construction, Design, and Finance teams.
- Work in close alignment with the Head of Construction \& Project Management on tender outcomes and budget control.
8. Inventory Monitoring \& Logistics Coordination
- Monitor stock balances and availability of procured goods in the company ERP system. Maintain agreed minimum-stock and reorder parameters based on approved store-opening, maintenance, supplier lead-time, and demand plans.
- Identify replenishment requirements and place purchase orders early enough to prevent shortages affecting store openings or maintenance activities.
- Issue clear dispatch requests to the warehouse, specifying items, quantities, destination, priority, and required delivery date. Warehouse staff remain responsible for physical stock accuracy, picking, packing, and dispatch execution.
- Monitor fulfilment of dispatch requests in the system, follow up with the warehouse and logistics teams, and escalate risks or delays affecting project schedules.
- Review inventory discrepancies identified through warehouse cycle counts and coordinate corrective actions in the ERP system. Physical cycle counts remain the responsibility of the Warehouse team.
- Coordinate inbound logistics and customs-clearance activities with freight forwarders, customs brokers, suppliers, and internal Finance teams. Ensure required commercial and shipping documents are provided on time and monitor the process through warehouse receipt.
- Maintain an up-to-date delivery and shipment tracker covering purchase-order status, expected arrival dates, warehouse receipt, dispatch, and delivery to stores or construction sites.
