Senior Procurement Manager – Vehicle MRO - £550 - £650

We’re supporting a major programme on the hire of a Senior Procurement Manager to drive strategy execution across vehicle MRO within a multi-billion-pound environment.

This role sits firmly on the strategic side. It’s about owning and evolving category direction across vehicle, engine, and generator MRO, ensuring the right approach is defined and embedded, rather than getting pulled into day-to-day execution.

Role required

• Drive execution of category strategy across vehicle, engine, and generator MRO
• Work across maintenance and repair contracts within a complex, public sector environment
• Ensure strategy is translated into clear, actionable outcomes across commercial teams
• Support tendering and auction activity from a strategic standpoint
• Operate within an agile, project-led environment aligned to programme priorities
• Engage closely with engineering and workshop-based stakeholders
• Push activity forward, removing blockers and ensuring things get done

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience across MRO, ideally within vehicles, engines, or similar mechanical environments
• Background in defence, engineering, or large-scale public sector programmes ideal but not required
• Proven ability to develop strategy
• Strong understanding of maintenance and repair contracts
• Comfortable in operational environments, including workshops
• Resilient, proactive, and able to influence stakeholders to drive progress
• Someone who can keep momentum and deliver outcomes in a complex environment

Additional Details

• Initial 6-month contract
• Multi-billion-pound programme
• High-impact role focused on making strategy happen
