Build and maintain project procurement schedules, tracking progress against programme and reporting performance.
Run tendering activities: market engagement, tender lists, enquiry packs, evaluation, clarifications, and recommendations.
Negotiate and place robust subcontract orders aligned to project scope, programme, and commercial requirements.
Manage and develop supplier/subcontractor relationships, including performance reviews and continuous improvement.
Provide procurement input into prequalification and tender responses, including procurement strategy and supply chain options.

Strong understanding of subcontract terms & conditions and commercial risk.

Willingness to travel to Bristol as required.

Desirable

CIPS membership/qualification (or working toward).
Experience across regulated/utilities-style programmes (e.g., water/environment frameworks), though not required.
Candidates from a QS / Cost Consultant / Commercial background who have led subcontract procurement and want to transition into procurement are welcomed.
