At ENGIE, we are accelerating the energy transition across North America through utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage projects. We need a strategic procurement leader to shape how we source, contract, and deliver the equipment that powers this transformation.

As Director of Strategic Sourcing, you will lead sourcing strategy for a portfolio of utility-scale renewable energy projects across North America, with responsibility for critical equipment categories including PV, BESS, wind, and high-voltage/major power equipment.
