The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and executing commodity strategies for mechanical components such as machined parts, castings, forgings, sheet metal, fabricated assemblies, plastic molded components, enclosures, fasteners, and other mechanical products. The role requires a strong understanding of supplier capabilities, manufacturing processes, cost drivers, and market trends to optimize supplier performance and ensure supply continuity.

Success in this position requires excellent analytical, negotiation, and project management skills, along with the ability to build strong supplier relationships and collaborate across multiple functions. The Mechanical Commodity Buyer will proactively identify supply risks, drive continuous improvement initiatives, negotiate commercial agreements, and support ABB's operational and strategic objectives.

This position supports ABB Canada's Automation, Measurement & Analytics division and is based in Québec.

Cost Optimization: identify and execute cost reduction opportunities through competitive sourcing, supplier negotiations, value engineering, productivity initiatives, and should-cost analysis.
Supply Continuity & Risk Management: identify and mitigate supply chain risks related to supplier capacity, raw material availability, geopolitical events, long lead-time components, and single-source suppliers. Develop contingency plans to ensure business continuity. Continuous improvement – drive actions to increase category maturity including the use of digital tools to augment visibility to tier-N spend and proactively manage risks.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Planning, Quality, Logistics, Operations & Global Counterpart to resolve supply issues, support manufacturing requirements, improve supplier performance, and implement sourcing initiatives.
Engineering Change & Lifecycle Support: support Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), supplier changes, product transfers, and lifecycle management activities to ensure uninterrupted supply.
Capacity & Demand Management: collaborate with suppliers and internal planning teams to ensure adequate production capacity and material availability to meet changing customer demand.
Supplier Development: drive supplier development initiatives, corrective actions, continuous improvement projects, and performance reviews in collaboration with Supplier Quality. Defining and establishing local standard agreements with all major suppliers, while providing and maintaining standard terms in purchase contracts/terms and conditions in line with company directives and guidelines.
Compliance & Reporting: ensure procurement activities comply with ABB policies, contractual requirements, and regulatory standards. Prepare and communicate reports on supplier performance, cost savings, sourcing initiatives, and supply chain risks.

Qualifications

A Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Engineering, Production/Operations management, Supply Chain or closely related field.
Minimum 10 years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or commodity management within a manufacturing or industrial environment.
Strong experience sourcing mechanical commodities such as machined components, castings, forgings, sheet metal, plastics, fabricated assemblies, motors, fasteners, and custom mechanical parts.
