is role combines commercial ownership — including financial responsibility for the equipment portfolio — with hands‑on team leadership and close partnership with engineering, proposal, and Enterprise Procurement Team. The Commercial Supply Chain & Procurement Manager sits within AISP department, giving equipment sourcing decisions a direct line to project delivery and technical requirements.
What You’ll Do
• Build, lead, and grow a high‑performing equipment sourcing team dedicated to SCADA and metering procurement, including hiring, coaching, professional development, and resource planning as the team scales.
• Own and manage the equipment financials — forecasting, revenue, cost of goods sold (COGS), and margin targets — balancing lowest total cost against supply resilience and delivery risk.
• Develop and execute an equipment sourcing strategy, including supplier spend diversification, supplier capacity/capability balance, and supply chain risk management across the SCADA and metering portfolio.
• Own supplier relationship management: agreements, terms & conditions, performance monitoring and reporting, payment terms, and bulk pricing negotiations.
• Build and continuously improve core sourcing processes across the project lifecycle — quoting, requirements flow-down, supplier selection, inventory planning, PO management, order fulfillment coordination, end‑of‑life management, and change order execution.
• Partner with engineering teams to translate technical specifications and bills of materials into sourcing requirements, ensuring procured equipment meets project design, quality, and schedule requirements.
• Incorporate supply chain cybersecurity and regulatory considerations (e.g., NERC CIP supply chain risk management requirements) into supplier selection and sourcing decisions for SCADA and metering systems.
• Partner with the Enterprise Supply Chain team on shared capabilities: supplier and subconsultant onboarding, strategic pricing negotiations, logistics, receiving, inventory management, ERP enablement, supplier corrective action programs, and supply chain analytics/KPIs.
• Ensure the consistent application of Supply Chain best practices and adherence to Ulteig’s Supplier Management program.
• Maintain market intelligence on SCADA/metering commodity pricing, lead times, supply chain risk, and evolving contract terms and conditions.
• Partner with proposal and sales teams to incorporate real‑time pricing, timely contracting, and client feedback into proposals and project execution.
• Identify, manage, and mitigate equipment delivery risk across active projects.
What We Expect From You
• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of procurement and contract negotiation experience in the energy sector, spanning power delivery, process automation, protection & control, and/or renewable energy infrastructure.
• Prior people‑leadership experience, with a track record of building and developing high‑performing teams.
• Demonstrated commercial acumen and knowledge of equipment and service supply contracts for major infrastructure projects, including the contractual risks inherent to them.
