The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Category Manager – Energy, to join our Procurement team in a strategically important role. Managing a category with annual spend of approximately £170m, you will oversee the sourcing and management of key energy portfolios including electricity, gas and fuels, ensuring the business secures a reliable, cost-effective and sustainable supply. This is a permanent position, working closely with senior stakeholders across the organisation and playing a visible role in quarterly risk reporting to the board.

This role offers the opportunity to influence how energy is sourced across a large operational footprint while also shaping future solutions. From supporting decisions on how new sites will be powered, to on-site renewable generation such as solar and wind, you will contribute directly to our ambition of making sustainable construction a reality.

What You'll Be Doing

• Develop and deliver the category strategy for Energy & Facility Services, using spend analysis, market intelligence and supplier insight to support effective procurement decisions.

• Manage end-to-end sourcing activities across energy portfolios including electricity, gas and fuels, ensuring robust governance, compliance and value optimisation.

• Oversee hedging and risk management strategies for fuel, power, gas and bitumen portfolios, including preparing insights for quarterly risk updates to senior leadership and the board.

• Explore and support initiatives that contribute to sustainability goals, including renewable energy solutions, PPAs and alternative fuels across operational sites.

Who you are

• You are comfortable interpreting energy markets, commodity trends and risk profiles, and translating this insight into practical procurement strategies.

• You build strong, collaborative relationships with stakeholders across functions and are confident presenting insights and recommendations to senior leadership.

• You are skilled at managing tenders, supplier negotiations and contract implementation, ensuring governance, compliance and clear documentation.

• You enjoy working with data and analysis to support budget planning, cost control and long-term procurement planning.
