Boeing is currently seeking a Procurement Field Representative based in Utsunomiya-Tochigi, Japan.

Make a real impact—where manufacturing happens

  • At Boeing, this role sits at the closest point between design and reality.
  • As a Procurement Field Representative, you will work directly at supplier manufacturing sites in Japan—not just observing, but solving real problems that affect aircraft production, delivery, and customer commitments.

  • See the direct impact of your work on global aircraft programs
  • Gain both deep operational expertise and a global perspective

What you’ll do (Key Responsibilities)

  • Partner closely with suppliers to ensure on-time delivery, quality, and production stability
  • Identify risks early and drive practical, data-driven solutions
  • Engage directly with shop floor teams through factory walks and on-site support
  • Lead or support production recovery and improvement initiatives
  • Collaborate across global teams (Procurement, Quality, Engineering, Supply Chain)
  • Communicate clearly with stakeholders in Japan and internationally
  • Build strong, trust-based relationships with suppliers and internal teams

Who we’re looking for

We are open to candidates across a range of experience levels.

If you are motivated by solving real-world manufacturing challenges and enjoy working close to the action, we encourage you to apply—even if your background doesn’t perfectly match every requirement.

  • Exposure to production recovery, supply stabilization, or continuous improvement
  • Familiarity with Lean manufacturing or process improvement
  • Data analysis skills (Excel, etc.)

What success looks like

  • You go beyond reporting issues—you drive solutions
  • You are comfortable being on-site and hands-on
  • You build trust quickly across cultures and organizations
  • You stay curious about what’s really happening in the field
  • Career growth
  • Supplier Management and Supply Chain leadership roles
  • Program and global operations roles
  • Broader responsibilities across Boeing’s global network

Location & Work Style

  • This position is expected to be 100% onsite, based in Utsunomiya, Tochigi prefecture (Field-based role)
  • Travel within Japan as required
    • This role includes approximately 20–40% travel annually to supplier manufacturing sites (Tier-1, sub-tier, and backshop suppliers), offering hands-on exposure to a wide range of manufacturing environments across Japan

Additional Information

  • Candidates must have work authorization in Japan. Employer is willing to sponsor applicants for employment visa status.

Hiring Manager’s Note
