Ballymena, United Kingdom Artemis Human Capital Full time
Head of Supply Chain/ Supply Chain Director

Artemis Executive Search is delighted to have been exclusively retained by leading multi-discipline specialist contractor Dowds Group as they seek to appoint a Head of Supply Chain/ Supply Chain Director.

You will have the autonomy to direct and drive Supply Chain Management and Procurement for a large Group operation, whilst also supporting the Board of Directors in achieving the strategic vision of the wider Group.

Established in 1978, Dowds Group has evolved over the years from a specialist M&E subcontractor into a multi-faceted Construction company covering M&E, Construction, Facilities Management, and Energy. Covering a broad spectrum of project types, they are specifically known for their work in cutting-edge Healthcare, Education, Leisure, and Commercial sectors.

Due to continued sustained growth, the company has recognised the need for an experienced senior Supply Chain professional to join their senior leadership team.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Shaping the overall supply chain and procurement strategy.
  • Negotiating contracts and securing cost-effective deals without compromising quality.
  • Developing procurement strategies that align with business objectives.
  • Implementing risk management measures.

As Head of Supply Chain, you will build and maintain strong relationships with suppliers, negotiating contracts to secure the best terms while aligning with Group sustainability and cost-saving goals. You'll lead strategic sourcing initiatives, manage risk, and drive continuous improvement measures that support our company's strategy. Collaborating closely with internal stakeholders, you'll develop procurement strategies that meet business needs and deliver measurable results. Your role will also involve monitoring market trends, driving cost reduction without compromising quality, and maintaining contingency plans to address potential disruptions. Additionally, you'll provide leadership to the supply chain team, ensuring alignment with KPIs and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

You bring a minimum of 5 years' experience in Supply Chain or Procurement Management, supported by a CIPS qualification, a degree, or a relevant technical certification. You have a proven track record in leading Supply Chain Management within a Group organisation, and ideally have some knowledge of Construction / Building Services.

With excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, experience of conducting root cause analysis and achieving cost-saving targets, you have delivered sustainable procurement and are well versed in continuous improvement methodologies.

A strong communicator and leader, you guide and motivate high-performing cross-functional teams, make data-driven decisions, and maintain a customer-focused approach to meet the needs of internal and external stakeholders.

This opportunity enables you to take full ownership of the supply chain function, drive transformative changes, enhance efficiencies, and play a pivotal role in making a significant impact across the company. Working for a leading local employer that fosters a positive and supportive employee culture, you will enjoy an excellent salary, a comprehensive benefits package, and opportunities for both personal and professional development.
