The Role

As a Procurement Specialist focused on Long Lead Items, you’ll manage complex procurement packages for major offshore projects—most notably the redeployment of a high-profile FPSO unit. You’ll take full responsibility for the purchasing process, from requests and tenders through to contract negotiation, delivery, and final close-out. This is a senior-level, hands-on position: you’ll chair meetings, resolve disputes, and ensure the project gets what it needs, when it needs it—no excuses.

Key Responsibilities:

Execute procurement tasks for multidisciplinary EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) projects, especially FPSO conversions
Manage PR, RFQ, tender evaluations, approvals, and purchase orders for critical goods and services
Lead supplier qualification and bid clarification meetings
Negotiate price, schedule, and contract terms to ensure best value
Report progress and issues to internal stakeholders (engineering, planning, cost control, etc.)
Assess and manage commercial and schedule impacts of post-award changes and variations
Review and approve supplier invoices and handle disputes
Oversee performance measurement and contract close-out activities

What You Need to Bring

Senior-level experience in procurement for large, multidisciplinary EPC Oil & Gas projects
Proven track record with FPSO conversion or similar offshore projects is highly preferred
Strong negotiation skills and commercial awareness
Excellent command of English (spoken & written); Dutch is an advantage
Practical knowledge of supplier qualification, tendering, contract law, and procurement software
Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, international environment
Resilience, problem-solving skills, and a pragmatic, hands-on attitude
