Procurement Manager

Flexible location (Selby, North Yorkshire or Glasgow preferred)

Full time, permanent

Hybrid working

Closing date: Monday 2nd March 2026

Who we are

We’re

not just talking about making a difference, we’re making it happen. We generate

dispatchable, renewable power and create stable energy in an uncertain world.

Building on our proud heritage, we have ambition to become the global leader in

sustainable biomass and carbon removals.

About the role

As an experienced procurement professional, you’ll thrive in a

busy commercial environment. You'll build meaningful and strong relationships

with internal and external stakeholders to drive procurement excellence at

every stage of the process.

This is a fast-paced role, which requires attention to detail and

working to tight deadlines. Ensuring compliance to policies and processes will

enable you to drive improved commercial outcomes and to deliver results that

support the overall procurement strategy here at Drax.

As a senior member of a transformative team you’ll help drive the

successful delivery of the overall procurement team goals. Day-to-day you'll be

responsible for all aspects of the Source to Contract cycle while considering

risk and cost. You’ll play a key role in the development and implementation of

sourcing strategies to maximise value whilst ensuring the right level of

governance is applied. You’ll also provide day to day procurement guidance and

advice to other team members.

Building new relationships and working with a wide range of

internal customers will be the key to success in this role. You’ll work closely

with the wider procurement team, to ensure continuous improvement and best

practice is shared throughout the team to optimise performance.

Drax is committed to developing its colleagues and investing in

your continuing professional development we are happy to support World

Contracting & Commerce training and certification (previously IACCM) and

CIPS membership.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll have strong technical procurement skills, ideally with Mechanical,

Electrical and Civils works category experience and understanding of best

practice. Procurement skills must include sourcing, close familiarity with

commercial pricing models, contract terms and conditions, and negotiations.

You’ll be comfortable in proactively challenging stakeholders and

demand, while providing a prompt, efficient and personalised service at all

levels. This is imperative, to ensure that customer needs are met, and

productive relationships are built and maintained. You should also be effective

in ensuring departmental policies and processes are communicated and

followed.

It is key that you are a self-starter with a ‘can do/will do’

attitude who has the energy, drive and commitment to make things happen and the

ability to work collaboratively across teams and geographies to form alignment.

The ability to identify key opportunities for Procurement support and

prioritise workload effectively is essential.

If you have CIPS/Project Management qualification that's great,

however if you have demonstrable experience and strong performance in a similar

role, we'd love to hear from you!
