About this role
Job Description
Our client, a leading global EPC player in power transmission and distribution, is looking for a Head of Supply Chain Management for its PTD business. The role leads procurement across roughly 25 countries and about 150 live projects, with annual spend of around USD 3 billion, and reports directly to the business head.
Procurement is a major driver of project margins, delivery timelines and early completion in this business. This is a strategic leadership position, not a purchasing desk.
What You Will Do
* Set the procurement strategy and align it with business goals, project margins and delivery schedules
* Lead sourcing, evaluation, negotiation and contract closure for towers, conductors, transformers, GIS/AIS, cables, insulators and EPC packages
* Own supplier approval decisions, and identify and develop new suppliers
* Build and maintain relationships with OEMs and strategic suppliers
* Drive cost optimisation and value engineering across a large multi-country portfolio
* Identify supply chain risks early and protect project execution
* Work closely with the Projects, Engineering, Contracts and Finance leadership
* Lead, develop and mentor a team of 20 to 30 across Saudi Arabia, the UAE and India
Qualifications
* 20+ years in supply chain and procurement, with substantial experience in power transmission and distribution, or in adjacent electrical infrastructure such as substations and underground cabling in oil and gas
* Experience leading procurement portfolios of USD 1 billion or more across multiple projects and countries
* Experience managing large EPC infrastructure projects
* Working experience with global suppliers, including those in China
* Middle East experience and an established vendor network in the region
* An electrical engineering background, or deep procurement knowledge of electrical equipment such as transformers and switchgear, is an advantage
* A stable track record in long-cycle project environments
Why Is This a Great Opportunity
* A competitive fixed monthly package in USD, plus an annual performance bonus
* Visa and health insurance for you, your spouse and up to two children
* A senior seat in a multinational leadership team
