Contractor Senior Procurement Consultant

• Leading end-to-end procurement processes with fairness, transparency, and a sharp eye for value.
• Developing smart sourcing strategies that support our goals and reduce risk.
• Creating and negotiating contracts that work for everyone — and making sure suppliers deliver on their promises.
• Working closely with stakeholders across the business to understand what’s needed and how to get there.
• Driving our ESG priorities, mitigating supply chain risks and finding ways to do things better.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Bring 10+ years of procurement experience, ideally in utilities, infrastructure, or large-scale projects.
• Know how to balance commercial smarts with a practical, people-first, delivery focussed outcome.
• Can switch gears easily — advising a junior analyst one moment and presenting to senior leaders the next.
• Are curious, adaptable, and always looking for ways to improve how things are done.
• Enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.

MCIPS would be helpful but not mandatory.

Why this role matters:

This is a rare opportunity to be part of something transformative. You’ll be helping to integrate Manawa’s 27 operational sites into the Contact Energy whānau, shaping how we work with suppliers, and leaving a legacy that will last well beyond your contract.

You’ll also be joining a team that values flexibility, collaboration, and getting stuck in. We’re delivery-focussed, outcome-driven, and always up for a challenge — but we also know how to have a laugh and support each other along the way.
