$10-30 AUD

Paid on delivery

I’m in Perth, Australia running Cartra, a growing water-filtration brand, and I need an on-the-ground sourcing partner in India to identify and vet a manufacturer for steel sheet-metal component. Preference is for contacts in Pune, Chennai, Coimbatore or Rajkot, but I’ll consider any city if the factory capabilities match. The role calls for someone with at least five years’ experience placing metal-fabrication work, strong supplier networks, and the confidence to walk factory floors, verify quality systems, negotiate MOQ, lead times and pricing, and report back with clear photographs, video, and visit notes. You will be working exclusively for me, never the factory, so transparency and impartiality are essential. Timing is tight—I’d like initial factory short-lists and first visit reports as soon as possible. Compensation can be commission-based, a fixed retainer, or a mix; I’m flexible for the right person and keen to build a long-term relationship. When you reply, focus on your relevant experience in metal sourcing and any recent factory visits you’ve conducted. Short-listed candidates will receive the full product drawings and technical specs under NDA.

Hi there, Sourcing sheet-metal suppliers for production requires careful evaluation of fabrication capability, quality systems, and consistency across batches—not just pricing. We can support factory identification, on-ground audits, capability verification, and structured reporting with photos/videos to ensure reliable supplier selection. To proceed accurately ✅ What is the component type (thickness, tolerances, finish requirements)? ✅ Expected volumes, MOQ targets, and timeline? ✅ Any certifications required (ISO, food-grade, pressure, etc.)? We can share relevant examples if helpful. We will be happy to address any questions and ensure a smooth project process. Ready when you are. Buildtrix Studio

I’m Hitesh Rathod, based in Ahmedabad, India, with 10+ years of experience in manufacturing, including the last 2 years as a full-time sourcing and pre-shipment inspection specialist in metal and automotive components. I have hands-on experience identifying and vetting sheet-metal manufacturers across Gujarat (Rajkot), Pune, and Chennai regions. I regularly visit factories to assess machinery (laser cutting, CNC bending, welding, coating), quality systems, and production capability before onboarding suppliers. For your project, I can manage the complete sourcing process: - Shortlisting qualified manufacturers based on your drawings - Conducting on-site factory audits and capability checks - Verifying certifications and export experience - Negotiating MOQ, pricing, and lead times in your interest - Providing clear reports with photos, videos, and honest feedback I’ve recently conducted multiple factory visits for metal components, ensuring suppliers meet strict quality and consistency requirements. I work 100% transparently and exclusively for my client—not the factory. I can start immediately and deliver a shortlist and initial visit reports quickly. Rate: $20/hour (flexible for long-term engagement) Looking forward to working with you. Best regards, Hitesh Rathod
