Strategic Sourcing Lead - Renewable Energy
📍 London (Hybrid 1–2 days/week) + bi-weekly travel to North Wales
Up to ÂŁ62,000 + 5% bonus + strong benefits package
An excellent opportunity for an experienced Strategic Sourcing professional to join a leading renewable energy organisation, supporting the procurement of critical infrastructure, engineering services, and operational spend across a complex and fast-moving asset base.
The role
You will take ownership of end-to-end strategic sourcing activity across a highly varied portfolio, developing category strategies, leading tenders, negotiating contracts, and driving supplier performance.
This is a genuinely broad and hands-on role, working closely with engineering and operational stakeholders across multiple renewable and hydro sites. You’ll manage a diverse pipeline of procurement activity spanning both Capex and indirect categories, including:
* Major equipment and assets
* Engineering and technical services
* MRO and maintenance spend
* Civils and construction works
* Specialist operational requirements
Given the nature of the business, no two weeks are the same - you might be sourcing heavy equipment one week and specialist containment or isolation solutions the next.
You’ll also play a key role in:
* Identifying and delivering cost-saving and efficiency opportunities
* Ensuring compliance with HSE, ESG, and regulatory standards
* Supporting procurement reporting, analytics, and continuous improvement
* Driving adoption of digital tools (e.g. Source-to-Contract platforms, Power BI dashboards)
* Supporting and mentoring junior team members where required
Key requirements
* 5–7+ years’ strategic procurement experience across Capex and indirect categories
* Strong stakeholder management skills, particularly with engineering/technical teams
* Background in energy, renewables, utilities, infrastructure, or heavy industry
* Strong understanding of engineering-led environments (mechanical engineering degree advantageous)
* Experience with procurement systems (SAP / Ariba desirable)
Package includes
* Up to ÂŁ62,000 salary + 5% bonus
* 28 days holiday
* Up to 12% pension contribution
* Private healthcare
* Life assurance (8x salary)
* Income protection
