• Shape and implement procurement strategy aligned with broader capital investment goals
• Support a wider transformation programme focused on enhancing procurement governance, controls, and efficiency
• Develop tools, frameworks, and supplier strategies to optimise spend

• Champion cross-functional collaboration and influence key decisions

Key Requirements:

• Track record in (CAPEX) sourcing equipment, civil works, and technical services
• Experience with MRO procurement is advantageous
• Comfortable operating autonomously and navigating change
