About NORVI Controllers

NORVI Controllers is a Sri Lankan electronics design and manufacturing company that exports industrial IoT hardware to Europe and North America. Our products are CE/EMC/RED certified and used in real industrial automation projects worldwide. We are a team of 25 people based in Midigama, Weligama, and have been shipping internationally since 2014.

The Role

We are looking for a Procurement Assistant to join our team on a fully remote basis. This role is responsible for communicating with local and international suppliers, sending Request for Quotations (RFQs), following up on orders and delivery timelines, and maintaining accurate procurement records. You will work remotely from your own location with a 10-day on-site induction at our Midigama facility before beginning the role. After induction, the role is fully remote. What matters most is good written English, reliable follow-through, and the ability to work independently without supervision.

What You Will Do

  • Send RFQs to local and international suppliers using templates and information provided by the team
  • Follow up with suppliers on pending quotations, order confirmations, and delivery timelines
  • Maintain accurate procurement records — purchase orders, supplier correspondence, and quotation comparisons
  • Track shipments and update the team on delivery status and delays
  • Coordinate with the Operations Manager on procurement priorities and urgent requirements
  • Maintain organised digital records of all supplier communications and procurement documentation

What We Are Looking For

  • Diploma or Degree in Business Administration, Commerce, or a related field
  • Good written English — you will be communicating directly with international suppliers by email
  • Strong sense of responsibility and accountability — you manage your own workload independently
  • Good computer literacy — proficiency in email, spreadsheets, and basic office tools
  • Self-motivated and reliable — this is a remote role that requires genuine discipline and follow-through
  • Prior experience in procurement, purchasing, or an administrative coordination role is an advantage
  • Candidates based in or around Colombo are preferred

On-Site Induction

All candidates will be required to attend a 10-day on-site induction at our Midigama, Weligama facility before the remote role begins. Travel and accommodation support will be provided for the induction period. After induction, the role is fully remote.

What We Offer

  • Salary: LKR 45,000—65,000/month based on experience
  • Permanent position with EPF/ETF
  • Fully remote role after induction — work from your own location
  • On-site induction with travel and accommodation support provided
  • A growing export company with international supplier exposure
