Procurement Manager - Freelance

About The Role

EKFB is a joint venture that brings together international, market leading expertise from four leading civil engineering and construction companies:
Eiffage, Kier, Ferrovial Construction and BAM Nuttall. All four partners have specialist expertise in the design, construction, operation, financing and maintenance of railway networks, including the construction of one of Europe’s latest high speed rail projects.

We are currently looking for a Procurement Manager to join our team in the North Chilterns Area based just outside of Aylesbury on a freelance basis for a minimum of 9 months.

In this role, you will be responsible for procurement within a section of works, managing the tender, award and recommendation of works packages and orders. You will act as the face of EKFB and ensure that all communication/negotiations/interactions with the supply chain are carried out in the spirit of our values and Procurement & Supply Chain vision.

We will expect you to carry out procurement to the highest ethical standard at all times. You must ensure that procurement exercises are made against value-based procurement decisions, as opposed to purely lowest cost. We would also need you to ensure that internal stakeholders are engaged in the process throughout and endorse any recommendations.

In addition, you will need to prepare and deliver internal presentations to key stakeholders articulating package strategies and award recommendations. And ensure that capacity of the market is fully considered during the tendering process.
