Background

About Chris Stephens

With over 10 years of experience in the mining industry, I am a sourcing manager at Blackhawk Mining, where I apply my forensic science background and skills to optimize the procurement and supply chain processes. In my previous role as a parts supervisor at Cecil I. Walker Machinery Company, I managed the inventory, ordering, and distribution of parts and equipment for various mining projects. I also have extensive experience as a regional sourcing manager at Alpha Natural Resources, where I was responsible for multiple regions and worked with accounting, operations, and maintenance teams to balance the capital budget and support the ongoing improvement and capital initiatives. I am passionate about finding innovative and cost-effective solutions for the mining sector, and I have a strong track record of delivering results and value for my employers and stakeholders. I am always eager to learn new skills and technologies, and I enjoy collaborating with diverse and talented teams. I am looking for a challenging and rewarding opportunity to leverage my sourcing, budgeting, operations, and maintenance competencies and contribute to the mission and vision of a leading mining company.
