Commercial Supply Chain and Procurement Manager

About the role

The Opportunity Ulteig is seeking a Commercial Supply Chain & Procurement Manager to join our Automation, Integration & System Protection (AISP) team. This is a newly created, leadership role responsible for building and leading a high-performing sourcing team that procures and delivers the SCADA and metering equipment powering our engineering product delivery. This role combines commercial ownership — including financial responsibility for the equipment portfolio — with hands-on team leadership and close partnership with engineering, proposal, and Enterprise Procurement Team. The Commercial Supply Chain & Procurement Manager sits within AISP department, giving equipment sourcing decisions a direct line to project delivery and technical requirements.

Responsibilities

• Build, lead, and grow a high-performing equipment sourcing team dedicated to SCADA and metering procurement, including hiring, coaching, professional development, and resource planning as the team scales.
• Own and manage the equipment financials — forecasting, revenue, cost of goods sold (COGS), and margin targets — balancing lowest total cost against supply resilience and delivery risk.
• Develop and execute an equipment sourcing strategy, including supplier spend diversification, supplier capacity/capability balance, and supply chain risk management across the SCADA and metering portfolio.
• Own supplier relationship management: agreements, terms & conditions, performance monitoring and reporting, payment terms, and bulk pricing negotiations.
• Build and continuously improve core sourcing processes across the project lifecycle — quoting, requirements flow-down, supplier selection, inventory planning, PO management, order fulfillment coordination, end-of-life management, and change order execution.
• Partner with engineering teams to translate technical specifications and bills of materials into sourcing requirements, ensuring procured equipment meets project design, quality, and schedule requirements.
• Incorporate supply chain cybersecurity and regulatory considerations (e.g., NERC CIP supply chain risk management requirements) into supplier selection and sourcing decisions for SCADA and metering systems.
• Partner with the Enterprise Supply Chain team on shared capabilities: supplier and subconsultant onboarding, strategic pricing negotiations, logistics, receiving, inventory management, ERP enablement, supplier corrective action programs, and supply chain analytics/KPIs.
• Ensure the consistent application of Supply Chain best practices and adherence to Ulteig’s Supplier Management program.
• Maintain market intelligence on SCAD
