- Category Manager – Heavy Equipment

- 6-Month Contract

- Sydney / Hybrid

Looking for a procurement role where you own the whole process, not just one piece of it?

We're partnering with a major NSW energy company to find an experienced Category Manager for its heavy equipment portfolio. This is a hands-on contract role in a team of nine, managing procurement across high-value, technically complex equipment within a portfolio worth more than $300m a year. With project activity expected to grow, this is a chance to make an immediate impact.

What you'll be doing

- Owning the full procurement lifecycle: market research, sourcing strategy, tendering or direct negotiation, commercial evaluation, contract negotiation and handover to contract management

- Managing complex supplier and stakeholder relationships across engineering, legal, major projects and operations

- Working through technical, safety and design requirements to land commercially sound outcomes

- Bringing structure and momentum to an area of the portfolio that needs a confident, self-sufficient operator





What you'll bring

- Proven experience independently delivering end-to-end sourcing and tender processes. You need to have owned the process, not supported one part of it

- Background in equipment, fleet, heavy or engineered equipment, infrastructure, indirects or another complex procurement environment

- Strong commercial acumen and confident negotiation skills

- Experience working closely with engineers, legal teams and project stakeholders
- The ability to quickly learn recent processes and stakeholder structures, then run with them

- Utility-sector or large capital project experience isn't required. Exposure to renewables or Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) would be a bonus, but it isn't essential.

The details

- 6-month contract, with potential extension
- Day Rate Contract
- Start ASAP. Candidates available immediately or with up to 4 weeks' notice are preferred
