Requirements
- 7+ years of procurement experience, including meaningful responsibility for materials sourcing, contracting, supplier management, and negotiation.
- Materials procurement experience in energy, utilities, manufacturing, industrial services, or a comparable asset-intensive sector.
- Hands-on Oracle Cloud ERP experience.
- Current CPSM or CPIM certification.
- Strong commercial judgment, analytical capability, and the confidence to influence stakeholders independently.
