We’re bridging two worlds, moving towards more sustainable energy sources, while helping to provide the energy, chemicals and resources needed now.

At Worley, major projects demand more than technical expertise—they require strategic leadership, collaboration across disciplines, and the ability to deliver complex procurement programs that keep some of the world’s largest energy and infrastructure projects moving forward. As Director, Supply Chain – EPC, you will help shape and execute the procurement strategy for large-scale EPC projects while leading high-performing supply chain teams that deliver results safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

This role plays a critical part in protecting project schedules, controlling cost, and maintaining the high standards of quality and compliance our clients expect.

Purpose of the role

Play an integral role in the successful delivery of large, complex EPC projects by leading the full lifecycle of project procurement and supply chain activities. You will be responsible for developing and executing supply chain strategies that support project objectives while ensuring equipment, materials, and third-party services are delivered safely, on schedule, and at the best possible value.

This role establishes the procurement framework for major capital projects and provides leadership to multidisciplinary supply chain teams, ensuring alignment with project goals, corporate policies, and client expectations.

• Developing and managing approved vendor lists, ensuring suppliers meet technical, commercial, safety, and compliance requirements
• Preparing and overseeing the issuance of Request for Quotation (RFQ) packages and ensuring clear technical and commercial documentation
• Leading the commercial and technical evaluation of vendor bids, providing clear recommendations for supplier selection and contract awards
• Negotiating major equipment and service contracts to secure favorable commercial and delivery terms
• Ensuring supply chain execution supports project milestones, mitigating risks that could impact project schedule or cost

• Providing leadership and mentorship to supply chain personnel including procurement managers, buyers, expeditors, and logistics specialists
• Managing supplier performance and developing long-term relationships with strategic vendors
• Ensuring compliance with company policies, regulatory requirements, and ethical procurement practices
• Leading continuous improvement initiatives across procurement systems, processes, and tools
