This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to strike the right balance between professional achievement and personal life, with the infrastructure in place to support both.

The Procurement Manager role

You'll be managing the full lifecycle of high-value subcontracts, from initial supplier engagement and tendering through to negotiation, implementation, and performance monitoring. You'll work closely with key stakeholders across engineering, commercial and project teams, and build collaborative relationships with suppliers across the UK and internationally.

Whether you're refining contract terms, managing risk, or identifying opportunities for improvement, your work will directly contribute to the delivery of complex, high-impact systems.

We're looking for:

1. Procurement, commercial or subcontract management experience
2. Strong communication and negotiation skills
3. A collaborative mindset and confidence working with senior stakeholders
4. Willingness to travel domestically and occasionally overseas
