Oracle•Apply•Published 1 days ago•First seen 11 hours ago

Primarily supporting low voltage labor (structured cabling) Master Service Agreements, Service Orders, Purchase Requisitions, Confidential Disclosure Agreements (CDAs), and RFx support. These activities are essential to maintaining project schedules and ensuring timely vendor engagement.

In addition to supporting Low Voltage procurement, the team has assumed responsibility for a growing portfolio of Third-Party Logistics (3PL) requests. Although 3PL activities represent a smaller portion of the overall workload, they require the same level of coordination, contract management, and responsiveness to support critical infrastructure deployments.

Responsibility for launching and managing RFx requests. Supporting RFx development, supplier communications, bid evaluation, and coordination through the sourcing process further expands the team's responsibilities and reinforces the need for additional resources to maintain timely execution and meet OCI's aggressive data center expansion timelines.
