I haven't even applied for the supply chain position. It was brought up by a recruiter, so I just wanted to look into it and learn more. He didn't disclose the name of his client/the company

Are you sure it's definitely in the Chemical Industry?
I know of an similar opening at a large Medical Supplies-related firm.
Large scale. Think Hospitals and Clinics.

It is when you operate 24/7/365. Trouble always happens on weekends, night, and holidays...part of the gig.

The recruiter represents downstream petrochem owner/operators, and it's for a plant between BR and NOLA

The issue with that is most companies don't want employees working overtime even if they are salaried and that at the interview companies promote you only work 40.
Fortunately, I am able to work when there is work to do and leave other times, but that comes with an understanding that if something happens I have to work.

Hasn't been that way here or most plants in this area.

You're good then. It is a number cruncher, process-driven deal. Are you a Lean Six Sigma quadruple yellow belt?
I am in logistics and I can't understand how our guys can sit all day doing that shite, but I'm glad they do. I would stab my eyeballs out with a pencil after a couple hours if I had to do that every day. I get to take their work and sell great, yuuuuge deals to the customer, taking all the credit for it in the process.

The first thing I tell anyone I am interviewing is that they are paid to do a job, not work a shift. If they want set hours, get an assembly line gig. Or I am sure that either the custodial or food service industry has some top flight positions available that would meet their desires.

The pay all depends on what company you work for and where you are on the career ladder. I'm currently an analyst in SCM for a major oil producer and some of the managers above me are probably making around $200K. If you go overseas(let's say Saudi Aramco) those guys are paying over $300K for supply chain jobs.
Just curious.. where did you find this recruiter?? I'm looking to move out of state soon and would like to stay within SCM but for a different company.

false
Purchasing is an act that one is instructed to do dependent of any logistical application.
Supply Chain requires logistics and monitoring of inventories.

Haha what do you like about it?
Posted on 3/22/16 at 3:42 pm to elleshoo9
I left auditing and got into logistics and I just love it. I wanna move into the petrochem so I can head back overseas for five years or so and then retire in my early 40s.

hahaha purchasing is just a small part of SCM. I have a degree SCM. I do more day to day stuff of moving my company's product. deal with brokers venders ect. still working my way up. kinda do a lot of the shite work now.
Its a solid field. Is there any other info besides Supply chain analyst
