· Design and maintain procurement information frameworks, supplier evaluation tools, cost comparison models and reporting systems to support consistent and evidence-based decision-making across Enerbyte’s project portfolio.
· Develop and maintain procurement policies, templates and standard operating procedures, and advise project teams on their correct application.
· Monitor supplier performance and contractual obligations, maintain a supplier risk register and recommend appropriate mitigation strategies for supply-chain issues that may affect project costs or delivery schedules.
· Assess suppliers and products against applicable Australian regulatory, technical and industry requirements,
including Clean Energy Council approved product listings, relevant Australian Standards, responsible sourcing requirements and modern slavery supply-chain risks.
· Liaise with project development, engineering, construction and finance teams to align procurement plans with project specifications, delivery milestones, grid connection timelines, approved budgets and cash-flow requirements.
· Prepare briefing papers, procurement dashboards, market analysis reports and supplier performance reports to support management planning and decision-making.
Qualification and Experience Requirements
