Step into a high-impact leadership role where you'll shape the entire procurement strategy for a multi-billion-pound reservoir programme that safeguards water security for millions. You'll:
- Own the agenda - set and drive procurement strategy across design, planning, construction and investment on one of the UK water sector's biggest, most complex schemes.
- Lead and inspire - head up a 15-20-strong, high-performing team and influence senior stakeholders, regulators and supply-chain partners.
- Deliver real purpose - join an organisation committed to sustainability and long-term value for customers and local communities.
- Operate at the cutting edge - work with the latest procurement legislation (Procurement Act 2023), embed innovative sourcing models and champion ESG best practice.
- Build your legacy - gain board-level exposure, shape national infrastructure and leave a lasting mark on the UK's water future.
