• Monitoring delivery times, confirmations, and deviations and adjusting quickly.

• Monitoring inventory levels and identifying bottlenecks in a timely manner.

What do we expect from you?

• You have a degree in chemical engineering.
• You have initial experience as a buyer in the chemical sector.
• You work fluently with SAP.
• You speak fluent English; French is a plus.
