• Oversee international and domestic logistics, customs clearance, and warehousing of long‑lead items.
• Align procurement schedules with engineering, construction, and commissioning timelines using Procore or similar platforms.
• Work closely with project managers, engineers, and finance to track material delivery and site readiness.

• Review, negotiate, and manage supply and subcontract agreements under FIDIC, NEC, and vendor‑specific terms.
• Ensure compliance with contract milestones, payment terms, and project risk management requirements.
• Support claim resolution, change orders, and supplier performance reviews.

• Use Procore and ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Net Suite) to manage procurement workflows, reporting, and approvals.
• Maintain an accurate and up‑to‑date procurement database, including approved vendors and pricing history.
• Build and lead a small team of procurement professionals, mentoring junior staff as needed.

• 5+ years' experience in procurement or supply chain, with a focus on renewable energy, electrical infrastructure, or EPC contracting.
• Strong technical understanding of Solar PV, BESS, and related equipment.
• Demonstrated experience with Procore or similar project management platforms.
• In‑depth knowledge of FIDIC and NEC contracts and their application in procurement and subcontracting.
• Excellent negotiation, communication, and organisational skills.
• Proficiency in Excel and ERP/procurement tools.

• Degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Quantity Surveying, or Business.
• Experience in delivering utility‑scale energy or infrastructure projects.
• Familiarity with import/export documentation, Incoterms, and construction logistics.
• Ability to travel for supplier audits, site visits, or project coordination as required.

• The opportunity to work on high‑profile renewable energy projects that make a tangible impact.
• A collaborative, fast‑paced work culture with room for growth and autonomy.
• Competitive salary + annual bonus + company pension + health & wellness support.
• Flexible or hybrid working options depending on project requirements.
