About the position

Reporting to leadership within Finance & Administration, the Procurement Manager - Strategic Projects provides dedicated, hands-on procurement support for the delivery of the Strategic Asset Plan (SAP) across a decentralised business environment.

Operating across three key business areas-Generation, Electrical Portfolio/Infrastructure, and Red Energy-this role acts as a collaborative business partner rather than a centralised custodian. You will refine scope, define procurement strategies, manage market engagements, and navigate complex commercial challenges to drive optimised value outcomes.

This is a fixed term 6 month contract.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Procurement Strategy & Scoping: Develop tailored, project-specific procurement strategies that identify and create value aligned to category plans, project risks, and corporate objectives.
• Tactical Market Engagement & Sourcing: Prepare tender documentation (RFQs, RFPs, ITTs) and manage end-to-end sourcing processes including bid evaluation, commercial negotiations, and contract execution.
• Collaborative Stakeholder Enablement: Act as a trusted commercial advisor across generation, electrical infrastructure, and retail software/operations units, embedding yourself in delivery teams to guide processes collaboratively.
• Quality & Strategic Reporting: Maintain meticulous quality control and thorough documentation to produce quick, high-level Strategic Procurement Assessments under strict Finance & Administration standards.
• Commercial Leadership: Educate project teams on governance, negotiate commercial terms, and proactively address procurement challenges or process variations.
