A leading global infrastructure organisation is looking to appoint an experienced Major Projects Supply Chain Manager to support the delivery of some of the UK’s largest and most complex infrastructure programmes.
The position can be based across several UK locations, including Birmingham, Derby, Manchester and Leeds, with other locations considered where there is a suitable company office within a reasonable commute.
This is a strategic, front-end supply chain role with significant involvement across major bids, pre-construction activity and project mobilisation. You will work closely with commercial, engineering and project leadership teams to develop supply chain strategies, engage key suppliers and ensure the business is well positioned to successfully secure and deliver major infrastructure programmes.
The role would suit someone who enjoys shaping strategy early in the project lifecycle, engaging the market and influencing senior stakeholders across complex, high-value projects.
The Opportunity
As Major Projects Supply Chain Manager, you will take ownership of developing and implementing supply chain strategies across both major bids and live projects, ensuring suppliers are engaged at the right stage, commercial and delivery risks are understood, and the supply chain is capable of supporting successful project outcomes.
