Let us introduce the role

You will report into the Principal Procurement Manager and be responsible for developing and delivering strategic sourcing events and supplier relationship management, supporting one of the UK's largest and most strategic infrastructure investments over the next 15 years.

As the Senior Procurement Manager, you be part of a category team of 5 or more procurement professionals, working in a matrix environment. Manage the development of AWE procurement strategy, market engagements, and tender execution, using collaborative and innovative procurement and contract strategies. Be responsible for developing route to market solutions that adopt latest procurement thinking, ensuring compliance to procurement regulations and our commitments to equality, fairness, and transparency.

As part of your role, you will manage the procurement of complex infrastructure solutions, including alliances and strategic partnerships.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking a Senior Procurement Manager with significant experience in the procurement of complex works and services.

We would love to hear from you if you are experienced in:

Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating complex contractual arrangements, preferably using a variety of pricing arrangements and incentive models under NEC contracts.

Developing and implementing tender, evaluation, and negotiation strategies, including subcontract provisions and selection.

Strategic category management, with an understanding and appreciation of modern procurement practices.

Working in cross-functional teams across multiple programmes.

Operating within a regulated procurement environment, complying with either the Public, Utilities or Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations.

You will also ideally be MCIPS qualified.

Everyone who works at AWE brings unique skills and perspectives to the table. We recognise that great people don't always 'tick every box'. That's why we focus on your potential, your fit with our values, your transferable skills as well as your experience. Even if you don't meet every point below, but you feel that this role and AWE are a great fit for you, please go ahead and apply, we'd love to receive your application.

You'll need to have the ability to work calmly and constructively in a priority changing environment and be able to manage your own workload. You will also have initiative, enthusiasm, a flexible approach, and ability to work to tight deadlines.

Some reasons we think you'll love it here:

AWE has wide range of benefits to suit you. These include:
