Reporting into the Executive General Manager - Finance & Commercial the Procurement Manager will have a Procurement Lead reporting to them, responsible primarily for project-related procurement execution, while the Procurement Manager focuses on strategy, governance, operating model design, capability uplift, and executive engagement.

As the functional authority for procurement, you will work closely with executive, commercial, and operational leaders to position procurement as a strategic enabler of performance, not just a transactional service.

You can choose to be based in either our Auckland or Whangarei office, depending on your preference.

• Design and stand-up McKays procurement operating model across projects, operations, and corporate spend
• Establish governance frameworks, policies, tools, and systems that are scalable and fit for purpose
• Lead strategic, high-value, and high-risk procurement activity, including supplier negotiations and contract oversight
• Build supplier strategies and performance frameworks to drive value, safety, and consistency
• Create structured approaches to overhead and indirect spend (IT, fleet, property, professional services, etc.)
• Coach and uplift capability across procurement and broader business teams
• Deliver a clear, well-documented handover ensuring long-term sustainability of the function

What you bring

• Extensive senior experience in procurement, commercial, or supply chain leadership within construction, engineering, or infrastructure

• Strong expertise in procurement governance, sourcing strategy, supplier management, and contract negotiation
• Ability to influence at executive level and drive alignment across diverse stakeholders
• A pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset with sharp commercial acumen

Why this role?
