Job Description

The Procurement Specialist is accountable for managing the end-to-end procurement process for complex, high-value, or strategically important oil and gas fabrication projects. This role assumes full ownership of the commercial and logistical project procurement lifecycle—from pre-FEED quotation through final material delivery and documentation closure, as well as site construction support.

The Specialist acts as the primary strategic liaison for Project Management and Engineering, driving critical sourcing and negotiation activities for major equipment and long-lead items. Key responsibilities include leading complex technical and commercial evaluations, negotiating favorable terms, ensuring alignment with project budgets, and proactively identifying and mitigating major supply chain risks.

This position requires a comprehensive understanding of fabrication processes, advanced supply chain logistics, and the ability to influence cross-functional teams and external suppliers to achieve aggressive project deadlines and maintain strict adherence to quality, ethical, and industry standards. Success in this role prepares the individual for the broader strategic and mentorship responsibilities of a Senior Project Procurement Lead.

• In-depth technical familiarity with the major equipment and highly engineered components relevant to Propak’s projects (i.e. compressors, valves, instrumentation).
• Proven ability to lead technical and commercial evaluations, with a track record of successfully analyzing vendor options, negotiating favorable supplier terms, and driving demonstrable cost-saving measures.
• Strategic thinker with a highly effective, creative approach to complex procurement challenges (i.e. long-lead time risk mitigation, single-source strategies).
• Highly developed analytical and critical thinking skills to support data-driven decision-making and project risk assessment.
• Exceptional ability to thrive in fast-paced project environments, confidently managing multiple, competing, high-priority project schedules with unwavering accuracy.
• Mastery of organization, detail orientation, and time-management required to manage complex documentation flow (RFQ/bid packages, approval drawings) and adapt to dynamic project needs.
• Advanced proficiency in leveraging ERP systems and project management software beyond basic entry (Microsoft Outlook and Excel expertise is essential).
• Unwavering commitment to ethical procurement practices and ensuring adherence to all industry and client-specific compliance requirements.

Working Conditions

• Office-based role with occasional visits to the shop floor and warehouse environments.
• Some visits to supplier locations.
• Standard 40-hour work weeks apply; however, flexibility is expected during peak project periods or critical deadlines to meet operational needs.
• Fast-paced, deadline-driven environment requiring adaptability, attention to detail, and effective multi-tasking.
