We’re not just talking about making a difference, we’re making it happen. We generate dispatchable, renewable power and create stable energy in an uncertain world. Building on our proud heritage, we have ambition to become the global leader in sustainable biomass and carbon removals.
You’ll be joining our teams of practical doers, future thinkers and business champions. We’re enabling a zero carbon, lower cost energy future for all, and working hard to decarbonise the planet for generations to come.
About the role:
As an experienced procurement professional with extensive experience in a strategic role, you will thrive in a busy commercial environment. You'll build meaningful and strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to drive procurement excellence at every stage of the process.
This is a fast-paced role, which requires attention to detail and working to tight deadlines. Ensuring compliance to policies and processes will enable you to drive commercial success in your role, in delivering results that meet the overall procurement strategy here at Drax.
Reporting directly to the Procurement Lead you’ll be part of the successful delivery of the overall procurement team goals. Day-to-day you'll be responsible for all aspects of the Source to Contract cycle while considering risk and cost, up to a value of c.£10M annually, per procurement/project, considering both operational and capital expenditure requirements. You’ll play a key role in the development and implementation of sourcing strategies to maximise value whilst ensuring the right level of governance is applied. You’ll also provide day to day procurement guidance and advice to other team members.
Building new relationships and working with a wide range of internal customers will be the key to success in this role. You’ll work closely with the wider procurement team, to ensure continuous improvement and best practice is shared throughout the team to optimise performance.
Drax is committed to developing its colleagues and in this procurement role we’d be happy to support World Contracting & Commerce certification (previously IACCM) and CIPS membership.
Who we’re looking for:
You’ll have strong technical procurement skills linked with an ability to drive best practice, alongside excellent negotiation skills and the ability to implement opportunities for innovation. You’ll be comfortable in proactively challenging stakeholders and demand, while providing a prompt, efficient and personalised service to internal customers at all levels. This is imperative, to ensure that customer needs are met, and productive relationships are built and maintained. You should also be effective in ensuring departmental policies and processes are communicated and followed.
It is key that you are a self-starter with a ‘can do/will do’ attitude who has the energy, drive and commitment to make things happen and the ability to work collaboratively across teams and geographies to form alignment. The ability to identify key opportunities for Procurement support and prioritise workload effectively is essential.
If you have CIPS/Project Management qualification that's great, however if you have demonstrable experience and strong performance in a similar role, we'd love to hear from you!
Rewards and benefits:
As you help us to shape the future, we’ve shaped our rewards and benefits to help you thrive and support your lifestyle. If successful in this role you’ll get:
