Our people-first, planet-focused approach drives everything we do — from energy procurement and risk management, to carbon reduction and on-site renewable projects.

The role

As a Procurement Specialist, you’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality procurement services across gas, electricity, and water. You’ll manage tenders, analyse and negotiate pricing, and issue recommendations aligned with clients’ risk strategies - all while staying one step ahead of industry changes and regulatory shifts.

You’ll need:

• Proven experience procuring flexible energy contracts
• Solid understanding of third-party costs, product structures, and contract mechanics
• An eye for detail and strong numerical skills
• Intermediate to advanced Excel (e.g. VLOOKUP, SUMIF, PivotTables)
• A proactive approach to problem-solving and workload prioritisation
• Confident communication skills with both suppliers and clients
  
  
  

Bonus if you bring:

• Experience with TPIs or suppliers
• Knowledge of regulatory changes affecting flexible energy products
  
  
  

We’re invested in you

We want to grow a future-ready team - that’s why you’ll have access to:

• Personalised L&D programme
• Progression pathway
• Bonus Scheme & referral incentives
• Perkbox benefits platform
• Enhanced parental leave & wellbeing support
• Flexible working built around you
  
  
  

Interested? Let’s talk.

This role isn’t live just yet, but if you’re experienced in flexible procurement and ready for what’s next, we’d love to hear from you. Express your interest now and our Talent Team will be in touch as soon as opportunities open.
