As the organisation continues to grow its UK presence and take on increasingly complex programmes, it is looking for an experienced Supply Chain Specialist / Project Manager to play a key role in the successful delivery of supplier and subcontract activities.

* Support bid/no-bid decisions by assessing supplier capability, cost, capacity and delivery risk.
* Lead or coordinate supplier selection activities within cross-functional project teams.
* Manage RFP/RFQ processes in line with agreed procurement strategies.
* Assess suppliers against technical, commercial, quality, delivery and performance criteria.
* Support the development and management of supplier contractual arrangements.
* Ensure deliverables, milestones, acceptance criteria and reporting requirements are clearly defined.
* Take ownership of the day-to-day project management of key suppliers and subcontractors.
* Establish clear delivery expectations, KPIs and review processes.
