About AMR Group

AMR Group is a leading Indian mining and infrastructure company with over four decades of experience in executing large and complex Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) projects. Mining is the Group’s core business, alongside a strong presence in infrastructure sectors including irrigation, water resources, roads, buildings and power.

Role Purpose

To lead end-to-end procurement for multiple large infrastructure projects, particularly Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs), with an aggregate project value of approximately 10,000 crore. The incumbent will be responsible for strategic sourcing, bulk procurement of construction materials, procurement of major equipment and specialised packages, vendor development, commercial negotiations, cost optimisation and timely delivery of materials to project sites.

The role requires a strong understanding of infrastructure EPC procurement, particularly the high-volume materials and equipment required for PSP construction, along with the ability to manage procurement across multiple projects simultaneously.

Key Responsibilities

1. Strategic Procurement & Planning

- Develop and implement procurement strategies for multiple PSP and infrastructure EPC projects.
- Prepare consolidated procurement plans aligned with project schedules, construction requirements and engineering specifications.
- Plan bulk procurement across projects to achieve economies of scale, competitive pricing and standardisation.
- Identify long-lead items and critical materials well in advance to prevent project delays.
- Establish procurement budgets, sourcing strategies, cost benchmarks and vendor development plans.

2. Bulk Procurement of Construction Materials

- Lead large-volume procurement of steel, cement, TMT bars, structural steel, pipes, fittings, aggregates, sand, admixtures, concrete-related materials and other construction consumables required for PSP and associated infrastructure projects.
- Manage procurement of different grades and specifications of steel, including reinforcement steel and structural steel, based on approved project requirements.




- Source pipes and associated fittings for water conveyance, pressure systems and other project applications, in coordination with engineering teams.
- Develop and maintain relationships with steel manufacturers, cement companies, pipe manufacturers, authorised distributors and other major suppliers.
- Negotiate competitive rates, volume-based discounts, supply agreements, price validity and delivery schedules for high-volume materials.
- Evaluate bulk purchase versus phased procurement, considering project schedules, storage capacity, working capital, price volatility and site logistics.
- Establish rate contracts and framework agreements where appropriate to support consistent supply across projects.
- Monitor commodity price movements and recommend suitable procurement strategies to manage price escalation and supply risks.
- Ensure material quality, specification compliance, inspection requirements and delivery documentation.

3. Procurement of Major Equipment & Specialised Packages

- Lead procurement of equipment, materials and specialist packages required for PSP and associated infrastructure works, based on the approved project scope.
- Coordinate procurement of hydro-mechanical equipment, water conveyance systems, gates, valves, pumping systems, electrical equipment and electromechanical packages, as applicable.
- Work with engineering teams to finalise technical specifications, evaluate vendor offers and obtain technical approvals.
- Manage procurement of long-lead equipment and specialised components in line with construction and commissioning schedules.
- Ensure technical compliance, competitive commercial terms, appropriate warranties and reliable delivery commitments.

4. Vendor Development & Supply Chain Management

- Identify, evaluate and develop a solid supplier base across India and, where necessary, international markets.
- Build strategic relationships with OEMs, steel and cement manufacturers, pipe manufacturers, fabricators, equipment suppliers and specialist subcontractors.
- Assess vendor capacity, financial stability, quality standards,



production capability and delivery track record.
- Develop alternate sources for critical and high-volume materials to reduce supply-chain risks.
- Monitor supplier performance, manufacturing progress, delivery commitments and quality issues.

5. Commercial Negotiation & Cost Optimisation

- Lead commercial negotiations for high-value procurement packages, bulk material contracts, rate contracts and supply agreements.
- Evaluate quotations, market rates, price trends, payment terms, freight, taxes, warranties and total landed cost.
- Drive cost optimisation through bulk purchasing, vendor consolidation, competitive bidding, value engineering and alternative sourcing.
- Monitor procurement commitments against approved project budgets and estimates.
- Assess price escalation risks for steel, cement, pipes and other commodities, and recommend suitable commercial arrangements.
- Ensure appropriate contractual safeguards relating to delivery, quality, warranties, performance security and non-performance.

6. Project Coordination & Material Delivery

- Work closely with project heads, engineering, planning, construction, contracts, finance, quality and stores teams.
- Align procurement schedules with project master schedules, construction sequencing and site consumption requirements.
- Track purchase requisitions, technical approvals, purchase orders, inspections, dispatches and deliveries.
- Ensure timely availability of bulk materials at project sites and minimise material shortages, excess inventory and idle stock.
- Coordinate logistics, transportation, material inspection and delivery planning across geographically dispersed project sites.
- Identify and escalate potential supply constraints and delivery delays before they affect project execution.

7. Procurement Governance & Systems

- Establish procurement policies, SOPs, approval matrices and appropriate sourcing controls.
- Ensure transparent tendering, competitive bidding, proper documentation and compliance with company policies.
- Implement procurement MIS covering purchase orders, material commitments, market prices, savings, outstanding deliveries and supplier performance.
