Job Description:
The Company
An exciting opportunity has arisen for enthusiastic Senior Buyers to join Northern Powergrid’s Commercial team.
The energy industry is advancing with investment in smart technology innovation and Northern Powergrid, as the company responsible for powering everyday life for 8 million customers across 3.9 million homes and businesses in the North East, Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire, is at the forefront of delivering a power network that meets the region’s needs now and in the future.
They are a diverse team, creating a smarter, more flexible electricity distribution network that will enable their region to decarbonise and meet the needs of their customers now and in the future.
We are partnering exclusively with Northern Powergrid to appoint Senior Buyers. These roles come at a pivotal time for the business, driven by increased capital investment, long term network planning and major transformation activity.
The Opportunity
As a Senior Buyer, you will lead strategic procurement activity for critical goods that underpin the electricity network, including electrical plant and equipment and components.
This is a strategic procurement role, not transactional buying. You’ll own complex sourcing activity end to end, working closely with engineering, policy and commercial stakeholders to deliver value, resilience and compliance across major contracts.
Key responsibilities include:
*Leading full tendering cycles from strategy through to contract award
*Developing and delivering sourcing strategies aligned to business objectives
*Establishing blanket purchase agreements and managing supplier performance
*Evaluating bids, risks and commercial value across high value tenders
*Producing high quality commercial recommendation papers for senior leadership approval
About You
You’ll bring:
*Strong experience in strategic procurement of goods or components, having worked ideally within manufacturing or engineering sectors
*Proven track record in managing high value categories
*Confidence in working cross functionally
*Excellent written communication skills, particularly in writing papers for senior stakeholders
*Strong attention to detail and comfort working within structured approval processes
*Experience in regulated environments is beneficial but not essential
