We’re partnering with an innovative, fast-moving client in the energy/infrastructure space that needs a sharp, resourceful Procurement Specialist to help solve real-time supply chain challenges and keep critical projects on track.

- Working side-by-side with operations, engineering, and project teams to solve urgent equipment needs
- Finding creative ways to expedite sourcing and navigate supply chain constraints
- Anticipating risks before they happen — and solving them before they impact the project
- Building strong vendor relationships and becoming a go-to problem solver internally
- Bringing visibility to procurement through tracking, reporting, and dashboards
🎯 What We’re Looking For
- Someone who is solutions-driven and thinks beyond rigid procurement processes
- Ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced, operational environment
- Strong collaboration skills — you’re comfortable working across multiple teams at once
- Solid procurement foundation with the ability to quickly learn technical equipment
- A proactive mindset — you don’t wait for problems, you get ahead of them
Bonus Points For:
- Experience in renewable energy, power, or electrical equipment (MV/HV, inverters, etc.)
- Exposure to Power BI, dashboards, or reporting tools
- Strong presentation skills or multilingual capabilities
🌱 Why This Role?
- High visibility with direct impact on project success
- Opportunity to step into a role where your ideas and problem-solving actually matter
- Clear path to a full-time position and long-term growth
- Work in a space that’s shaping the future of energy and infrastructure
