Job Description

AtkinsRéalis is looking for Associate Director – Supply Chain Management . Created by the integration of long-standing organizations dating back to 1911, AtkinsRéalis is a world-class engineering services and nuclear company dedicated to engineering a better future for our planet and its people. We create sustainable solutions that connect people, data, and technology to transform the world’s infrastructure and energy systems. We deploy global capabilities locally to our clients and deliver unique end-to-end services across the whole life cycle of an asset including consulting, advisory & environmental services, intelligent networks & cybersecurity, design & engineering, procurement, project & construction management, operations & maintenance, decommissioning, and capital.

Key Attributes

The day-to-day role will require you to work with internal stakeholders from across the business (regional and international). This will require a well-rounded, deep technical and operational knowledge of procurement and supply chain management, ideally gained from experience working successfully for established client organizations, consultants, and/or contractors on large-scale programmes and projects.

Additionally, the role will involve ensuring compliance with governance, where the ability to work collaboratively, build strong relationships, but also hold others to account will be critical.

Requirements

• Minimum of 10 years of experience in Supply Chain Management / Commercial / Procurement profession.
• Experience of developing and implementing functional change programmes / business improvement initiatives.
• Experience of establishing and undertaking a commercial governance and assurance role.
• Demonstrable track record of delivery and driving operational excellence in commercial and procurement in large programmes (infrastructure and/or built environment).
• Experience of working in a client-focused environment, working closely with key stakeholders, colleagues, and other consultants to build and maintain relationships.
• Proven experience in managing supply chain development programmes, supplier rationalisation processes, and analysis of supply chain data.
• Firm understanding and practical knowledge of leading Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) processes.
• Be an expert in managing contractual relationships, establishing long-term relationships (through frameworks or similar) and performance management.
• Ability to engage and collaborate with all levels of internal stakeholders.
• Degree qualified. Relevant construction, business or engineering related discipline.
• Professional chartered membership with CIPS, RICS or equivalent.
• Preferred – experience in the Middle East infrastructure and/or built environment market.
• Preferred – experience in project management.

Project Management Training Courses

Course: Project Management for Supply Chain Professionals

Supply Management is the process of managing relationships, information, and materials flows across organisational boundaries to deliver enhanced customer service and economic value. Supply managers aim towards synchronizing and amalgamating these flows through the implementation of a specific ordering of work activities across time and place, with a beginning, an end, clearly identified inputs and outputs, as well as a structure for action.

Project Management is also a structured process of managing work flow in a specific order across time and place. The close similarities between these two processes provide a firm foundation to expand the supply manager’s world view to adopt project management principles and techniques. This course focuses on integrating project management principles into the supply management process. In this course, you will learn how project management concepts could be applied to enhance supply management. You will also gain an understanding of the tools and techniques used to initiate, execute, manage and control a project. Possible initiatives for the improvement of supply management through the application of project management concepts will be emphasised.
