Reporting to the Regional Project Procurement Manager, the Project Procurement Advisor (PPA) is a key, integrated member of a major capital project team, responsible for carrying out planning and execution of all activities related to purchasing, expediting, logistics, field materials management and EPC subcontracting. The PPA’s involvement on a project often spans from early Pre-FEED (Development Stage) through FEED and Execution (Execution Stage), thus having shifting focus areas and deliverables based upon Project Stage:

• Development Stage – PPA supports the development and implementation of project procurement strategies and plans related to equipment and material purchasing (including long lead items), transportation and logistics, onsite materials management and subcontracting activities. Additionally, PPA facilitates execution of early non-WBS service contracts (ex: early study contracts). PPA activities typically span through mid/later Stage 3, when the Project nears execution phase.
  
  At that time, the PPA role shifts to an execution / EPC Contractor oversight and advisory role, defined below.
• Execution Stage – PPA supports the purchasing / subcontracting activities performed by the EPC contractor and/or in-house procurement group, and ensures progression of aligned commercial strategies to drive schedule and capital efficiencies, while ensuring operational integrity in support of the Project Objectives & Strategies (POS).

Throughout the Project stages, PPA serves as the point of contact for Project Leadership Team and Global Projects Procurement organization relative to procurement and materials management activities.
