Role overview

Acts as the procurement point of contact during sales and project execution, working with engineering and project teams to reduce risk and support successful delivery.

Works within the Project Procurement team and broader Procurement department.

The procurement organization supports cost-effective, sustainable purchasing and a resilient supplier ecosystem, including the transition from Engineer-to-Order to Configure-to-Order.

Responsibilities

  • Support sales offers with itemized items and competitive procurement conditions, and challenge non-standard specifications to improve cost efficiency.
  • Identify long-lead goods and services that may threaten project requirements and develop a feasibility strategy.
  • Execute procurement in line with the Supply Plan and category strategies to deliver required products and services on time and in full.
  • Advise stakeholders on products and supplier options when specifications change; recommend alternatives or initiate new supplier selection when needed.
  • Run or lead RFx events for non-itemized products and services, including documents, proposal evaluation, should-cost modelling coordination, negotiations, and supplier selection.
  • Update procurement information in the project Supply Plan during execution.

Candidate requirements

  • 5–7 years of procurement, supply-chain, or project-execution support experience in technical or engineering-focused organizations.
  • Strong knowledge of procurement processes, RFx management, and supplier performance management.
  • Analytical ability to assess project requirements, supplier delivery, and risks; experience managing supplier escalations and mitigation strategies.
  • Negotiation and cost-savings capability while balancing risk and operational needs.
  • Ability to work independently, communicate clearly, and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Ability to travel internationally up to 5% of the time.
