- Identifying opportunities to improve value, supplier performance and procurement efficiency while managing commercial and supply chain risk.
- Coordinating input from engineering, planning, consents, finance, legal and project delivery colleagues throughout the procurement process.
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with internal stakeholders, project partners, suppliers and contractors.
- Managing strategic supplier relationships and monitoring supplier performance.
