Track Record: Proven ability to build or transform a procurement function and a track record of delivering measurable cost savings.
Subcontractor & Services Expertise: Substantial experience procuring and managing subcontractor labour alongside direct materials and indirect services.
Tender Process: Experience on running tender process and understanding tender frameworks.
Qualifications: MCIPS or equivalent professional commercial qualification is highly desirable.
Skills: Strong contract negotiation skills, commercial acumen, data analysis capability, and excellent stakeholder management.

What We Offer

Salary: £50,000 – £60,000 + Benefits (Dependent on Experience)
