2. Procurement
Procurement is the acquisition of goods or services. It is favorable
that the goods/services are appropriate and that they are procured

bodies often define processes intended to promote fair and open
competition for their business while minimizing exposure to fraud
and collusion.

6. Contract engineer
Contractors typically work through a contract firm that assigns them
to companies for particular projects. The contract firms pay the
contractors an hourly rate and then collect fees (generally 40 to 50
percent more than the contractor’s hourly rate) from the third party
company. Perhaps one of the most attractive aspects of being a
contract engineer is that the contract firm finds assignments for you.
Sometimes, contract work opens doors that might otherwise not be
available to you. In fact, contract positions sometimes lead to
permanent full-time positions.
