Job Scope

* At its core, FM can be divided into two distinct yet interconnected categories: Soft FM and Hard FM.

Key Responsibilities
* Manage all FM procurement categories including catering, cleaning, maintenance, utilities, and waste.
* Lead sourcing strategies, negotiations, supplier onboarding, and contract management.
* Align procurement goals with operational requirements through cross‐functional collaboration.
* Oversee daily procurement operations: approvals, reporting, documentation, and compliance.
* Resolve supplier performance issues and risks with agility and professionalism.
* Provide commercial leadership throughout bids, tenders, and mobilisation phases.
* Foster strong relationships with suppliers to ensure performance, quality, and value.
Qualifications and Experience
* 5+ years' experience in procurement or supply chain management—ideally within facilities, energy, or remote operations.
* Proven leadership and management skills with the ability to guide teams and engage stakeholders.
* Strong negotiation and commercial acumen.
* Tertiary qualifications in Procurement, Supply Chain, or Business (Diploma minimum; Degree preferred).
* Familiarity with Energy & Resources sector requirements and procurement frameworks is a plus.
