Sabine Schwabe

In 2000 I took over the task of managing a large number of different customer projects as a purchasing specialist at the Zolling coal-fired power plant. Since 2015 I have been leading a small team as Head of Purchasing.
My goal is to achieve the best possible results in the procurement of goods and services, both externally and internally, in a customer-oriented manner.

Due to a recent restructuring within the company, I am now responsible for several locations and, together with the team, am building up a procurement organization with a very wide range of product groups and services. Considering the energy turnaround, a very future-oriented and sustainable approach is essential and makes this an exciting challenge.

My job profile:
- Management of the purchasing and materials management team
- Management of all procurement projects
- Construction projects
- Creation of service specifications in coordination with internal customers
- Preparation and implementation of tenders
- Contract negotiations and conclusions
- Process optimization of the purchasing-relevant procedures
- Carrying out market research using European contacts within and outside the Group
- Responsibility for the local purchasing process and continuous support, development and improvement of the processes in cooperation with the management
- Supplier management
