Your future role
Take on a new challenge and apply your negotiating expertise in a new cutting-
edge field. You'll report to Procurement Manager Meruert Sarmasheva, and work

You'll take part in major resourcing projects. Day-to-day, you'll work closely

you succeed and grow in this role:

• Bachelor's degree or higher, preferrably in Finance, Engineering or Logistics.


• Excellent communication and negotiation skills.


• Fluent English, Kazakh, and Russian.


• Advanced skills in Excel.


• Experience in railway is a plus.
