Procurement Manager
Procurement Manager – Building Envelope Team
We are seeking a Procurement Manager to join our Building Envelope team, playing a critical role in leading procurement delivery across major projects.
The building envelope (or building enclosure) forms the physical barrier between a building's interior and exterior — including walls, roofs, foundations, windows, and doors. It is fundamental to controlling heat, air, water, and light, ensuring occupant comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term structural integrity. This role will support the procurement of these critical systems across complex, large-scale developments.
Key Responsibilities
Procurement Leadership
- Lead procurement activities across major projects, with full accountability for outcomes
- Influence project decisions through strong commercial and contractual expertise
- Drive value, compliance, and alignment with business objectives
Tender & Award
- Lead sourcing and selection of strategic supply chain partners
- Prepare, issue, and evaluate high-value tender enquiries
- Lead commercial and contractual negotiations to secure best value
- Produce robust recommendation reports for senior approvals
- Draft, issue, and execute complex contracts in line with Laing O'Rourke policies
