You will join a collaborative environment that brings together procurement, engineering, quality and commercial teams to deliver high-value capital projects, with hybrid working available.

Your new roleAs Procurement Sourcing Specialist, you will take ownership of end-to-end CAPEX tender execution, supporting engineering-focused procurement activities across a range of projects. You will be responsible for setting up, managing and issuing competitive tenders using SAP Ariba, ensuring all documentation is structured, complete and compliant. This will include building tender packs, managing supplier communications, and maintaining clear audit trails throughout the process.

Working with a high degree of autonomy, you will act as the central coordination point between procurement and a range of internal stakeholders, including engineering, quality, validation, EHS, legal and finance. You will consolidate technical and commercial inputs, track progress against timelines, and ensure that all activities move forward in a controlled and transparent manner. You will support evaluation processes by developing structured comparison matrices and ensuring documentation is consistent and audit-ready, enabling informed decision-making at selection stage.
