Vancouver, Canada Invinity Energy Systems Full time

Company Description

In the world of energy, no area is more exciting than large-scale energy storage. From a few installations a decade ago to a market Barclays Bank says is “likely to approach the trillions,” energy storage makes wind and solar available around the clock. Invinity is taking a leading role by providing a safe, reliable, and economical alternative to conventional storage solutions.

Invinity Energy Systems, a public company trading on the London Stock Exchange, produces batteries that do not suffer the short life, fire risk and materials scarcity that hold back solutions powered by lithium-ion batteries. Invinity’s flow batteries store energy in a water-based electrolyte using vanadium, a widely available element proven in energy storage for decades. Invinity has commercial projects in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, with significant operations in Vancouver and Bathgate and offices in London and San Francisco.

We are looking for people with a passion for renewable energy to join us. People love working at Invinity because we are empowered to make a meaningful impact. We’re small enough that every team member plays a critical role in our daily business, but large enough that the batteries we build are being deployed at significant scale in landmark clean energy projects around the world. We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Buyer to join our procurement team.

**Job Description**:
Working closely with the Procurement Specialist and the wider Supply Chain team, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of procurement activities.

The Buyer will have solid experience within a Production or Manufacturing environment, ideally within both large and small organisations. You will have knowledge of a variety of concepts, practices, and procedures within a purchasing and/or supply chain environment. Critical to the role will be the positive impact you have across the Engineering, Commercial, R&D and Finance teams and suppliers, through the relationships you build, balanced with the ability to drive through the formal requirements.

You will also support the whole business with purchasing requirements. You will be responsible for requesting quotes, understanding supplier capabilities, placing orders, expediting orders, and negotiating favourable terms of materials, equipment, services and supplies from suppliers.

**Key responsibilities**
- Evaluate quotes from suppliers and compare quotes with the specifications, availability of items and the required cost
- Serve as a liaison between Supply Chain, Supply Partners and Internal Stakeholders such as Engineering, Commercial sales, Technology, Operations and Finance. Provide support in all Supply Chain activities arising on a day-to-day level

- Support master planning (S&OP) sizing requirements, inclusive of end-to-end materials and logistic requirements
- Assist in the continuous effort to improve operations, streamline work processes and work cooperatively and jointly, to provide quality seamless customer service
- Adopt and maintain an overriding culture of safety and environmental sustainability across Supply Chain activities
- Be a key resource working with DEAR, becoming a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to provide support with the system across the business
- May be required to perform other duties and responsibilities as required

**Qualifications**:

- Be able to document and deliver information clearly and concisely ensuring dissemination in an organised and timely manner
