We’re supporting a leading organisation delivering major renewable infrastructure projects across the UK and Ireland. This is an opportunity to play a key role in high-value, large-scale developments that are directly contributing to the journey toward net zero.

If you thrive in fast-paced, project-driven environments and enjoy managing complex commercial and supply chain challenges, this could be the ideal next move.

• Ensure governance compliance, documentation and approvals
• Manage contracts post-award including reporting, payments, variations, claims and disputes
• Build strong, collaborative supplier relationships
• Monitor supply markets to drive competition, innovation and risk mitigation

About You

You’ll be proactive, commercially astute and confident working across multiple complex projects. You’re comfortable influencing stakeholders and negotiating high-value agreements while maintaining strong governance standards.

Essential

• Proven procurement, commercial or quantity surveying experience on major projects
• Experience within capital-intensive industries (utilities, infrastructure, oil & gas or renewables)
• Strong negotiation and contract management skills
• Knowledge of contract law and tender processes
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
