The Opportunity:

As a Product Procurement Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role within Caterpillar, representing the Electrical, Electronics and Drivetrain categories managing part sourcing, development, and quality feedback loops across New Product Introduction (NPI), Continuous Product Improvement (CPI), and New Source Introduction (NSI).

You’ll work closely with Engineering, Procurement and Supply Chain teams, while also engaging directly with suppliers to ensure alignment. The role ensures category strategy is clearly defined and executed, delivering parts with the right quality, total cost and timing to meet business and customer requirements.

As a Product Procurement Engineer, you will be responsible for, but not limited to:

Develop, implement and maintain category-specific KPIs, providing clear reporting and insights to Category and Programme Leadership.
Collaborate with Design Control Engineering, Value Chain Engineering, Procurement, Quality and Supply Chain to define and execute global product supply strategies aligned to category objectives.
Drive Value Analysis / Value Engineering (VA/VE) through cost modelling, Design for Manufacturability (DFM), and effective utilisation of supplier capability.
Contribute within a global team to develop and implement standardised processes across sourcing, quality improvement, cost management and capacity planning.
Manage quality feedback loops, ensuring lessons learned are captured, shared and consistently applied to improve supplier performance.
Represent category performance at NPI and APQP gateways, working with suppliers and cross-functional teams to resolve quality, cost and delivery issues and drive continuous improvement.

Strategic Sourcing: Develops and executes category and sourcing strategies, managing supplier agreements, sourcing pipelines and procurement programmes to deliver competitive and sustainable outcomes.
Cost Benefit Analysis: Identifies and delivers cost, quality and efficiency improvements through structured analysis, supporting DFM/DFA and maximising the use of supplier capability.
Data Driven Decision Making: Evaluates business proposals using data, cost analysis and risk assessment, ensuring decisions are robust and escalating risks appropriately to Category Leadership.

Top candidates will also have:

Works directly with suppliers to support part development, resolve quality and delivery issues, and ensure products meet specification, escalating higher-risk concerns where required.
Makes informed sourcing decisions by balancing cost, contractual terms, risk exposure and long-term value to protect quality, delivery and commercial outcomes.
Applies quality standards, governance and continuous improvement methods to drive consistent product quality and supplier performance.
Anticipates and incorporates external factors (regulatory, environmental, geopolitical) into sourcing decisions to enhance resilience and mitigate supply risk.

Pending the number of applications, the criteria for the position may be enhanced to facilitate shortlisting.
