• Act as a central point of contact for material-related follow-up with Engineering, Purchasing, Suppliers, Logistics partners, and manufacturing teams.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date material tracking records, including quantities, delivery dates, shipment references, and key open points.
• Support shipment coordination and transport prioritization when materials are required across different locations or in support of urgent project needs.
• Ensure proper management of material-related documentation, such as delivery notes, packing lists, shipment records, and information required for administrative or invoice follow-up.
• Identify potential material risks, escalate critical issues in a timely manner, and support recovery actions to minimize impact on Engineering and program timing.
