"Strategic Category Ownership. Global Industrial Group"

£Very Competitive + Bonus + Car Allowance + Blue Chip Benefits

Hybrid UK Role

Are you a seasoned procurement professional already managing large-scale energy or fuels portfolios, and looking for a role that offers true strategic autonomy, business-critical impact, and a direct line to the boardroom?

We're partnering with a global FTSE- and NYSE-listed industrial and infrastructure group to appoint a Senior Procurement Manager - Energy & Power. This is not a tactical sourcing role - it's a high-visibility commercial leadership position, embedded in one of the most strategically sensitive and high-spend categories in the business.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Procurement Director, you will lead the UK procurement strategy and delivery for a £500m+ Energy & Power portfolio, which includes:

• Electricity, gas, bitumen, solid & liquid fuels, and alternative fuels
• Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs)
• Self-generation and renewable infrastructure (solar farms, battery storage)

You'll own the design and execution of hedging and risk management strategies, engaging regularly with the UK Managing Director, Finance Director, and sustainability leadership teams. Your input will directly influence how the business times and secures energy - balancing cost, carbon, and continuity.

You will also act as the UK's representative in plc's Procurement Steering Group, working across borders to ensure UK goals are aligned with group-level initiatives.

This is a rare opportunity to take end-to-end accountability for both commercial performance and decarbonisation delivery in one of the most volatile and high-impact procurement categories in the industry.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Owning and evolving the UK-wide energy procurement and hedging strategy
• Partnering with cluster and group-level procurement and sustainability experts
• Leading and negotiating high-value energy supply contracts and CPPAs
• Supporting the delivery of solar and battery storage projects tied to 2030 sustainability targets
• Regularly presenting market intelligence and procurement recommendations at ExCom level
• Navigating a complex matrix of stakeholders including MDs, finance, operations, and global category leaders
• Delivering measurable savings, risk mitigation, and margin protection
• Influencing the shift from cost-centre procurement to commercial value generation

About You

You'll bring:

• Substantial procurement experience (7-10+ years) within energy, fuels, or power
• A strong track record in energy market analysis, trading mechanisms, or hedging strategies
• Experience managing high-value supply agreements across complex stakeholder networks
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills - comfortable presenting to CFOs and MDs
• High commercial and strategic acumen; capable of linking procurement to EBITDA
• Ideally, experience within manufacturing, construction, industrials, or heavy engineering
• Working knowledge of SAP, Ariba, or procurement analytics tools is a bonus
• Located within the UK or EU with willingness to travel; relocation considered

The Package

• £Very Competitive, depending on experience
• Bonus
• Private healthcare, pension, enhanced holidays, share save
• Full hybrid model - flexible on home base with travel to sites and Midlands as required
• Clear internal pathway to European or Group procurement leadership roles
