    "High Profile Strategic Career Breakthrough Opportunity"

    Very Competitive + Bonus + Car Allowance + Blue Chip Benefits Hybrid UK Role

    You've already made an impact in energy or fuels procurement. You're managing complex supplier relationships, maybe influencing hedging conversations. But your career feels stuck - no movement, too much red tape, and no real ownership.

    If you're looking for your first step into a true strategic leadership role, this is it.

    We're working with a global market leader in industrial materials and infrastructure, with a procurement function undergoing major strategic transformation. This role offers you the chance to take full commercial ownership of a 500m Energy & Power category, and to operate at the heart of the business - not the sidelines.

    What You'll Do

    In this role, you'll report directly to the UK Procurement Director, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with senior Finance, Operations, and Sustainability leaders. You'll have full scope and ownership over:

    • Procurement of electricity, gas, bitumen, liquid & solid fuels
    • Hedging strategies and market timing
    • Supporting renewable and self-generation delivery (solar farms, battery storage, CPPAs)
    • Leading supplier engagement and strategic contract negotiations
    • Presenting market risk insights and recommendations to the MD and CFO
    • Contributing to cross-border energy steering group

    The business operates within a matrixed, non-hierarchical structure, so you'll gain exposure to regional and global stakeholders across Western Europe - and be encouraged to drive change, not just manage processes.

    About You

    You may be a Category Manager, Senior Buyer, or Procurement Lead working in:

    • Energy, utilities, or power
    • Chemical, industrial, construction, or manufacturing sectors
    • A large, complex matrixed organisation with formal procurement structures

    You'll bring:

    • Deep interest or experience in energy, electricity or fuels procurement
    • Strong commercial instincts and analytical mindset
    • The confidence to step up and take ownership in a senior, visible role
    • Passion for sustainability and supply resilience
    • Ambition to grow into a European or global role within 3-5 years

    What's On Offer

    • Very Competitive Salary
    • Bonus
    • Car allowance
    • Full hybrid working policy
    • A platform to elevate your career into strategic procurement leadership
