The Successful Applicant

You're a technically skilled sourcing professional with deep experience managing end-to-end procurement in complex, regulated environments. You have advanced knowledge of sourcing methodologies, tendering processes, and contract life-cycle management. Your ability to interpret commercial contract terms, assess supplier risk, and use tools like SAP, Ariba, or equivalent platforms sets you apart. You're comfortable developing cost models, analysing supplier data, and driving value through structured sourcing strategies. With strong commercial acumen and stakeholder engagement skills, you thrive in environments where precision, compliance, and value creation matter. Experience in infrastructure, utilities, or asset-intensive industries is highly desirable, along with qualifications in procurement, commercial law, or business.

Join a respected, forward-thinking organisation in a senior procurement role with real impact. You'll have the opportunity to lead complex sourcing initiatives, influence commercial outcomes, and work closely with key internal stakeholders. This role offers strong professional growth, a supportive and collaborative culture, and flexible working arrangements.
