Being a procurement engineer, I have to acquire subcontractor. There are several steps that have to be done. First of all, new subcontractors will be looking from many sources; for example, internet or yellow pages. Furthermore, these new subcontractors will be invited to bid for our works. In addition, the prices from these new subcontractors will be compared with those of the old subcontractors and also the budget. Most of the times, the one who submit the lowest price, get the work. However, occasionally, the one who does not submit the lowest price may win if he proposes shorter time condition. On one hand, we have to process these steps as fast as possible, on the other hand, we need to make sure that we will get the best price and conditions form our subcontractors. In conclusion, a procurement engineer has to contract and negotiate with several subcontractors every day. There are also a lot of paper works that need to be done. Even, this work is kind of stressful but it is fun.
