Position Summary

The Vendor Performance Management (VPM) Coordinator II supports timely, specification-compliant delivery of project equipment and materials by coordinating supplier purchase-order execution, expediting, inspection, and quality follow-up. Embedded within project procurement teams, the position uses established VPM processes and systems to track fabrication progress, identify delivery and quality risks, and communicate corrective actions.

This Coordinator II role is adapted from the supplied Coordinator III description, with emphasis on assigned purchase orders and execution under guidance from project VPM leadership rather than ownership of the highest-criticality packages or department-wide training and process leadership. The precise level-II package criticality and approval authority should be confirmed with VPM management.
