Your Impact as a Project Procurement Manager (Senior to Principal) – APAC
In this role, you will lead the procurement of materials, equipment, services, and subcontracts for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects. You will oversee all aspects of material and equipment procurement—from early planning and tenders to sourcing, expediting, inspection, logistics, and site delivery. You will also manage supplier relationships and performance throughout the project lifecycle. Success will be measured by your ability to secure materials and services below budget, on schedule, and aligned with quality and technical requirements. You will be expected to build competitive sourcing strategies, maintain strong supplier engagement, negotiate effectively, and address any supplier or contractor performance issues.
