About You

You are a seasoned Contracts & Procurement (C&P) professional with a minimum of 5 years’ experience in managing contracts for complex infrastructure or offshore projects — particularly in Transport & Installation (T&I) scopes. You’re confident handling contract negotiations, procurement strategy, claims management, and supplier performance monitoring. You work well in international, cross-functional teams, and bring strong communication, organizational, and stakeholder management skills.

Your responsibilities include:
 

• Leading contract strategy and execution for WTG T&I scopes
• Managing pre- and post-award contractual activities, including claims and variations
• Supporting procurement activities such as market analysis, commercial assessment, and supplier due diligence
• Ensuring compliance with project procedures, internal approvals, and ERP tool usage (Ariba, MBC, AGORA)
• Coordinating closely with internal stakeholders (Legal, Finance, Planning, Insurance)
• Managing interfaces with suppliers, subcontractors, and project teams to reduce risk and drive performance
