Seeking a Procurement Delivery Lead – Electric Capital Construction to support capital delivery construction procurement activity. This is a contractor role operating at a manager level as a senior individual contributor. The role will be the right hand to the director and will provide hands‑on procurement, sourcing, commercial, bid execution, and process improvement support for complex electric construction work. The successful candidate will partner closely with Procurement leadership, category managers, project management, engineering, construction, legal, finance, safety, operations, and business stakeholders to plan and execute strategic sourcing events.

The role will focus on improving decisions around delivery models, bid readiness, sourcing quality, supplier engagement, commercial discipline, governance, award documentation, and overall procurement execution. In addition to supporting active sourcing events, this role will be expected to provide thought leadership and strategic improvement capability.
