• Monitor engineering requisitions, track variations, and manage procurement progress reporting.
• Conduct vendor research, evaluation and audits; contribute to preferred vendor lists and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Support site and vendor shop visits related to inspections, audits or issue resolution.
• Oversee spare parts management activities, including SPIR development and readiness for commissioning and early operational phases.
• Participate in commercial and technical meetings, contribute to policy improvements, and support project close‑out activities including lessons learned.

Requirements

• HNC or degree in Engineering (or equivalent).
• At least 10 years’ procurement experience on major oil & gas projects.
• Strong background in offshore EPIC / EPC project execution in the region.
• Proven capability across bidding, awarding, buying, expediting and inspection.
• Experience developing procurement plans and strategies within large projects.
• Familiarity with enterprise procurement or maintenance systems (generic references only).
• Hands‑on experience with SPIRs and spare parts readiness for commissioning and early operations.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to conduct supplier site visits when required.
• Applicants must already be eligible to work in the project location or meet local visa requirements; no sponsorship can be guaranteed.
