About the role

This is a permanent, full-time position based at our Hindmarsh office, reporting to the Category Lead. The role has been created in response to the continued growth of Enerven's operational footprint within the Utilities and Renewables sectors.

You will manage your own portfolio of contracts from end to end, covering sourcing, RFT documentation, tender evaluation, supplier negotiation and contract administration in SAP.

About you

You bring solid contracting and sourcing experience gained in a project driven environment, and you are comfortable running a sourcing exercise from market research through to award with minimal oversight. You have the commercial judgement to know where the risk sits in a set of contract terms, and the confidence to hold your position in a negotiation. You keep your documentation accurate and your stakeholders informed, and you enjoy the variety that comes with managing a portfolio across multiple projects.

Skills and experience include

• Demonstrated contracting and sourcing experience, ideally within utilities, energy or infrastructure
• A tertiary qualification in Supply Chain or Business, or equivalent capability gained through experience
