• Review all drawings and update the required job operations to suit so that the workshop can quickly and efficiently begin work without confusion.
• From the drawings and discussion with the workshop supervisor, I identified what materials would be needed to complete the work.
• After the materials are known I source quotations for the relevant raw material or outsourcing works and once a quote has been selected I raise a purchase order for the supplier and organize for a material delivery.

• I review invoices and compare them to the raised purchase orders and quotes to identify discrepancies and contact the suppliers to get any issues rectified.
