Introduction

As Expansion Project Coordinator, you will hold a strategic procurement role focused on securing a competitive supply of manufacturing equipment and services for GlobalFoundries’ Dresden operations. You will collaborate closely with Operations to define requirements and with the broader Global Supply Management team to leverage the global supply base, commercial expertise, technical knowledge, and best practices.

• Develop and execute sourcing strategies for CAPEX equipment and services in alignment with expansion milestones, budgets, and global commodity objectives.
• Serve as the primary commercial interface with equipment suppliers, driving capacity commitments, delivery schedules, technical alignment, and supplier development.
• Lead local commercial negotiations and support global negotiations for equipment purchases, installation services, warranties, and long-term support agreements.
• Use strategic sourcing and analytical tools—including Power BI, cleansheeting, and negotiation planners—to evaluate costs, track commitments, and support investment decisions.
• Identify and mitigate commercial, supply, schedule, and capacity risks that could affect fab-expansion milestones.
• Resolve project-specific supply issues in collaboration with Operations, Industrial Engineering, and other key stakeholders.
• Manage contractual agreements, change orders, claims, and renegotiate project-specific commercial and technical objectives.
• Monitor and communicate sourcing progress, savings, risks, supplier commitments, and key decisions to project leadership and relevant stakeholders.
• Ensure all procurement activities support applicable Environmental, Health, Safety, Security, and regulatory requirements throughout the expansion project.
