Leeds Beckett University has a fantastic opportunity to deliver an exciting and innovative Knowledge Transfer Partnership ( KTP ) project to develop and embed a Supply Chain Engagement Toolkit, ultimately increasing the depth and breadth of contracting SMEs engaged in public procurement within the construction sector.

Working with YORhub, a collaboration of Leeds City, Sheffield City, North Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire Councils, the KTP project will fulfil their strategic aim to address national challenges of supply chain engagement by increasing the number and diversity of engaged SMEs, resulting in increased efficiency and service delivery in this sector.

The successful candidate will work with teams across YORhub and key stakeholders and have the support of an outstanding multi-disciplinary academic team from Leeds Beckett University.
You will work at the front end of the lifecycle to develop supply chain insights and strategies that build innovate and diverse supply chain solutions. Current supply chain practices and processes will be examined, with an intent to enhance the existing digital platform. Ultimately functional improvements will be identified and embedded, enhancing delivery from the supply chain across the construction industry.

The role presents the successful candidate with wide-ranging experience and an excellent development opportunity to lead a project across a range of business functions, working with a range of internal and external stakeholders. There is genuine potential to be employed by YORhub post-project.

Management / Supply Chain Management / Project or Construction Management or similar with project management capabilities in order to manage a multi-faceted project. A strong analytical background is required, with the ability to a culture of innovation to develop the optimal solution for YORhub and their stakeholders.

You will be well supported by academic experts at Leeds Beckett and colleagues at YORhub but you need to be curious, excited about the project challenges and prepared to involve yourself in all aspects of a business.

This will be a challenging role and for the right candidate will present an excellent opportunity to make a tangible difference to the business, grow their own skill set and experience and with a very realistic chance of permanent employment at the end of the project.
