You will play a key role in defining procurement strategies, managing high-value contracts, building strong supplier relationships, and ensuring our projects are positioned for successful delivery. This role requires a strong mix of strategic thinking, commercial judgement, leadership, and hands-on experience in complex infrastructure, ideally offshore wind or renewables.

- Build, lead, and develop a team of procurement and contracts managers and legal advisors.
- Own procurement schedules, key decision points, and reporting to support safe, timely, and cost-effective project delivery.
- Lead high-value supplier engagement, negotiations, contract award recommendations, and final contract close-out.
- Work closely with technical, legal, commercial, finance, project leadership, and external stakeholders to secure strong project outcomes.
- Promote consistency, best practice, and knowledge sharing across packages, projects, and the wider global procurement community.
