Could you lead procurement activity across major renewable energy projects, managing competitive tenders, supplier relationships and commercial negotiations from development through to delivery?

As Procurement Manager, you will play an important role in supporting the successful delivery of our renewable energy projects, leading procurement activity across competitive tenders, contract negotiations and supplier engagement from early project development through to contract award and handover. The role will help ensure that procurement decisions are commercially robust, aligned with project programmes and technical requirements, and completed in accordance with internal governance.

Working across utility-scale solar PV, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and grid connection infrastructure, you will collaborate closely with internal stakeholders and external contractors, suppliers and manufacturers. You will take ownership of assigned procurement workstreams, provide clear reporting and market intelligence, and contribute to consistent procurement processes and ways of working across the team.

What You Will Do

• Lead procurement planning and contracting strategies for assigned projects, aligning the approach with project objectives, delivery programmes, technical requirements and internal governance.
• Lead management of end-to-end tender processes for EPC, ICP, BESS supply and associated construction services, including market engagement, tender documentation, bid clarification, evaluation, recommendation and negotiation.
• Coordinate commercial and contractual input from Engineering, Construction, Development, Commercial, Legal and Finance to support timely and well-governed procurement decisions.
• Lead negotiations of complex, high-value EPC, ICP and BESS supply agreements, with a focus on bankability, risk allocation, programme, payment profiles, warranties and performance security.
• Produce clear procurement and contract negotiation status reports, tender recommendations and decision papers for project teams and senior stakeholders.
• Build and maintain strategic relationships with tier-1 contractors through regular commercial updates, technical workshops and performance discussions.
• Support contract implementation and structured handover to project delivery teams, helping to resolve procurement-related queries during design, construction, commissioning and contract close-out.
• Help develop and maintain supply chain strategies, category roadmaps and sourcing options for key technology categories, including modules, inverters, mounting structures, BESS, transformers and other major electrical equipment.
• Support monitoring supplier capability, manufacturing capacity, delivery lead times, technology developments, price trends, cost drivers and relevant geopolitical or logistics risks.
• Support the Supply Chain Manager in providing procurement and supply chain inputs to business cases and financial models, including capex and opex assumptions, price forecasts, market intelligence and procurement programme considerations.
• Work collaboratively across the Procurement team to coordinate project priorities, share market intelligence and promote consistent approaches to tendering, evaluation and contract negotiation.
• Maintain accurate procurement records, trackers and governance controls, and contribute to the continuous improvement of templates, processes and lessons learned so that procurement activity remains transparent, consistent and auditable.
• Undertake supplier, factory and project site visits where required across the UK, Ireland and Italy.
