Ajeesh S Nair

Procurement Officer

About

I work in procurement, mainly within construction environments, and I’ve been doing this for over eight years now. Most days, my job is about making sure the right materials reach the site on time, at the right cost, and without unnecessary back-and-forth. It’s practical work, and I enjoy being close to the real operations rather than just paperwork. 🏗️📦I’ve handled the full procurement cycle — understanding site requirements, sourcing suppliers, comparing quotations, negotiating prices, issuing LPOs, and tracking deliveries. I work closely with site teams, finance, and vendors, because procurement only works when everyone stays aligned. I believe good follow-ups and clear communication solve more problems than long emails ever will. 🤝Before moving fully into procurement, I worked in logistics, coordinating domestic and international shipments and handling customs documentation. That experience gave me a strong understanding of how supply chains move in real life, not just on spreadsheets. It helps me plan better, anticipate delays, and deal calmly when things don’t go exactly as planned. 🚢📄I’m currently based in the UAE and continuing to build my procurement knowledge through CIPS Level 4. I value honesty in negotiations, consistency in work, and building supplier relationships that last beyond a single project. If you’re looking to connect or exchange ideas around procurement and supply chain work, feel free to reach out. 🙂
