You create value by bringing together commercial, technical and
operational interests into one clear procurement strategy. You identify
opportunities for competitive advantage, cost savings, innovation, risk
reduction and supply chain improvement. You lead procurement for
subcontracting, which can represent 70 to 80 percent of the contract value, as
well as materials and related services, which can represent 10 to 20 percent.
You lead commercial negotiations, work with Legal on contracting and coordinate
expediting where the size of the project requires it. You bring together Sales,
Engineering, Contracting, QA/QC, the Project Leader, General Manager and
Control to keep procurement aligned with the wider project objectives. Together
with Central Procurement, you also help improve standards for governance, roles
and responsibilities, planning, policies, systems, processes, procedures and
KPIs. You also contribute to the continuous improvement and optimization of
the Procure-to-Pay (P2P) process, ensuring efficient and compliant procurement
workflows from sourcing through to payment.
You make sure procurement strengthens successful delivery of the
project.
