- Develop and implement cost reduction strategies to optimize procurement spend while maintaining quality and service levels.
- Analyse pricing trends, evaluate total cost of ownership, and identify opportunities for process efficiencies and value engineering.
- Identify opportunities to streamline procurement processes, enhance efficiency, and improve operational effectiveness.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement process improvements, standardize workflows, and leverage technology solutions to automate manual tasks and reduce cycle times.
- Collaborate and foster relations with internal stakeholders, including operations, finance, and quality assurance teams, to understand business requirements and align procurement strategies with organizational goals.

- Demonstrable experience with project procurement (i.e. full scope EPCIC/CAPEX projects) in a heavy, high demand industry such as the maritime sector.
- Ambition to grow (we would eventually want this person to grow into a strategic buyer role).
- Proactive mindset with the ability to identify problems, propose solutions, and drive continuous improvement, analytical skills and proficiency in data-driven decision-making.
- Negotiation skills and ability to build and maintain strategic relationships with suppliers and vendors.
- Knowledge of procurement best practices, contract management, and risk mitigation strategies.
