Job Description

As a Senior Project Procurement Manager (PPM) within Siemens Energy Grid Technologies, you are a core member of the Project Team from the tender phase through project handover.

You act as the project's procurement lead, managing all procurement activities and applying the Siemens Energy procurement process to support successful delivery.

• Drive early procurement involvement by developing tailored sourcing strategies, securing robust supplier quotations, and supporting accurate project cost calculations.
• Implement the procurement strategy for onshore and offshore scopes, establishing effective collaboration models with regional procurement teams.
• Monitor global and regional market conditions, identifying risks and opportunities and developing appropriate mitigation and realization strategies.
• Coordinate procurement activities with regional units, engineering, scheduling, and commercial project management to optimize cost, schedule, and quality outcomes.
• Analyze the full supply and service scope, assess procurement‑related risks, lead supplier negotiations, support Commodity Managers, and ensure accurate data and reporting for project controlling and stakeholder transparency.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 8 years of experience executing complex, multi‑disciplinary projects-preferably in energy, transmission, EPC, or engineering‑driven environments.
• Advanced or fluent French and English skills (read, write, speak)
• A problem‑solving mindset, with the ability to address challenges of any scale constructively and proactively.
