Peter Lucas Project Management invests in people, community, and cutting-edge technology to provide gold standard project delivery. We are currently looking for a Permanent Procurement & Contract Specialist to join our team.

At Peter Lucas we offer a variety of work, professional development, and learning opportunities that come from working on diverse projects in the mining, energy, and heavy industrial sectors. Our dynamic environment, filled with high-achieving professionals, enables our staff to take on incredible opportunities, gain mentorship from a diverse group of colleagues, and succeed in their careers.

The Procurement & Contracts Specialist supports the Procurement & Contracts Manager and broader Project Management Office (PMO) by coordinating and executing procurement, contract administration, and procurement support activities across a variety of client projects and operational initiatives. This role supports sourcing, tendering, supplier management, contract administration, procurement documentation, and procurement coordination activities while ensuring alignment with organizational standards, client requirements, and public procurement practices.

The ideal candidate will bring experience working within public sector, infrastructure, mining, energy, or engineering and possess a strong understanding of procurement governance, competitive bid processes, and contract administration practices. The Procurement & Contracts Specialist will work collaboratively with internal teams, project managers, clients, suppliers, consultants, and contractors to support project delivery and contribute to the continued growth and maturity of the organization’s procurement function.

This role is primarily office-based but will also provide fractional procurement and procurement support remotely and periodically on-site depending on project requirements.

The position is intended to support multiple projects and operational initiatives concurrently, with a focus on project-based and strategic procurement activities rather than high-volume transactional purchasing. This requires strong time management and prioritization skills, as the successful candidate will be expected to balance competing project timelines, stakeholder needs, procurement deliverables, and contract administration requirements.

• Support the Procurement & Contracts Manager with procurement execution and coordination activities across multiple concurrent projects and operational initiatives.
• Provide fractional procurement support to client projects remotely, from corporate offices, or periodically at project sites, depending on project requirements.
