• Develop and implement category and procurement strategies aligned to both project and business goals.
• Negotiate and manage NEC3/NEC4 subcontract agreements, including heavily modified versions.
• Ensure full commercial governance and alignment with internal risk management protocols.
• Build, manage, and optimise the project supply chain, ensuring performance and value delivery.
• Collaborate closely with delivery teams, estimators, commercial leads, and suppliers.
• Drive sustainable procurement outcomes including ESG, social value, and SME engagement.
• Support work-winning activity and preconstruction planning with strategic supply chain input.
• Interface with client procurement and commercial teams, ensuring alignment with framework expectations.

Must-Have Experience

• Proven background in subcontract procurement within infrastructure, utilities, or construction.
• Strong NEC3 and NEC4 contract knowledge, including negotiation of amended clauses.
• Minimum 5 years in a senior procurement/supply chain leadership role.
• Track record of commercial delivery and risk mitigation through subcontract management.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills across commercial and delivery functions.
• Demonstrable experience leading procurement on complex, high-value projects.
