Senior Project Procurement Manager / Senior projectinkoopmanager

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 oversee the full project procurement scope, including onshore and regional packages, civil works, and erection services, and drive strategies that ensure competitive, compliant, and reliable execution.

You act as the project's procurement lead, managing all procurement activities and applying the Siemens Energy procurement process to support successful delivery. Throughout the lifecycle, you shape sourcing strategies, guide supplier engagement, mitigate risks, and ensure alignment with the overall project plan. Given the scale and complexity of Grid Technologies projects, the ideal candidate brings deep expertise in strategic procurement and contract negotiation within industrial or energy project environments. This senior professional operates with a high degree of autonomy, navigates complex challenges, and provides expert guidance to the broader team.
