Key Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end procurement activities for major infrastructure, transport, and capital works projects.
  • Develop and implement procurement strategies that drive value and manage risk.
  • Provide expert advice on best practice, compliance, and contract management.
  • Support tender evaluations, supplier negotiations, and contract execution.

  • Why Apply?

  • Support delivery of the region’s largest capital programme
  • Be part of a collaborative, high-trust, and community-focused team .
  • Great employee benefits — wellbeing leave, paid birthday leave, flexible working options , and more.
  • Full-time, fixed term for 18 months
  • If you’re motivated by meaningful work and want to help shape the future of your community through large-scale infrastructure delivery, we’d love to hear from you.
