Back to original languageAbout Cedric
Freelance industrial buyer and mechanical engineer, with experience in international groups (Atlas Copco) and industrial SMEs.
I support companies on ad hoc or part-time assignments in industrial purchasing: supplier sourcing, tenders (RFQ), negotiation, cost reduction, and supplier risk management.
My dual technical + purchasing expertise allows me to quickly understand the constraints of R&D, production, and supply chain, for pragmatic and effective decisions.
I intervene mainly as flexible support (evenings and weekends), remotely or on-site if necessary (audits, inspections).
Areas covered: mechanics, piping, metal hoses, boilermaking, sheet metal work, industrial equipment, energy, hydrogen.
