Keeping procurement moving in Calgary

In this role, you’ll manage the end-to-end procurement of materials, equipment and services needed for both projects and operations. You’ll source and qualify suppliers, negotiate terms, run RFQs and bid evaluations, issue purchase orders and keep up communications with suppliers, including expediting when necessary. You’ll work side by side with engineering, project management and construction teams to ensure purchasing aligns with schedules and business priorities, while monitoring supplier performance and spotting risks early so you can propose effective remedies to keep timelines intact. You’ll analyse pricing and market conditions to support sound buying decisions and ensure all activity complies with company policies and contractual obligations. Expect to handle a diverse portfolio and operate with independent judgment, while sharing knowledge with junior team members and contributing to continuous improvement efforts within procurement.
