You will be accountable for RFPs, RFQs, RFIs, evaluations, contract drafting and award. Typical procurement packages include land access, design and engineering, materials, specialist electrical equipment, construction etc. There is the opportunity to contribute to the 'way we work' and continuously improve our tools and processes.
