Job description

Senior Project Procurement Specialist | East of England | £Competitive

I'm currently working on an exciting opportunity for an experienced procurement professional to join a major UK organisation operating within critical infrastructure.

This is a role for someone who has genuinely operated within high-value, complex projects and understands the additional challenges that come with working in a highly regulated and governed environment.

You’ll be involved in significant project procurement activity, developing procurement strategies, managing tender processes, negotiating with suppliers and working closely with senior commercial and project stakeholders.

• High-value project procurement
• Major infrastructure / construction projects
• Strategic procurement & commercial decision-making
• Complex stakeholder management
• Highly regulated environment
• Supplier selection & negotiation
• NEC experience highly desirable
• Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) experience highly desirable

I’m particularly interested in speaking with procurement professionals who can demonstrate what they’ve actually delivered on major projects, rather than simply having project procurement on their CV.

• Senior Buyer / Senior Project Buyer
• Project Procurement Manager
• Senior Procurement Manager
• Procurement Manager - Projects
• Strategic Procurement Manager
• Senior Category Manager
• Commercial / Procurement Lead

Experience within infrastructure, utilities, construction, engineering or another heavily regulated sector would be particularly relevant.
