About the Role

KPMG's Major Projects Advisory (MPA) team is seeking an experienced professional to join our team as a Procurement and Commercial Strategy Manager. As a key member of our team, you will work alongside our existing team to provide advice to clients on procurement and commercial matters, helping them to achieve successful outcomes through planning and implementing innovative and robust procurement and commercial interventions.

About the Team

The MPA team in the UK are based in London, Birmingham, and Manchester. This role will be based in one of these locations but will require travel to client locations throughout the UK and occasionally overseas.

About You

This role is ideally suited to those with post-qualification experience in procurement and commercial management/quantity surveying. This experience will have been gained on very high-value, complex major projects and programmes. The role requires experience with the following attributes:

  • A good understanding of procurement in construction and project contexts, across the whole lifecycle of an asset
  • Experience in developing and implementing procurement, supply chain, and market management initiatives such as procurement strategies, alliancing agreements, market analysis, and modern methods of construction enablement
  • A good understanding of procurement law and regulations
  • Familiarity with industry-standard contract forms such as the NEC suite
  • A good understanding of issues which impact project performance
  • Ability to set out a clear approach to tackling a new challenge in the most efficient manner
  • Clear, concise, fact-based reporting
  • A relevant professional qualification, such as MCIPS or MRICS

In addition to the above, experience in some of the following areas would also be of benefit to the candidate in the environment that we work in:

  • Project/programme management
  • Project/programme controls
  • Earned value management
  • Cost management, estimating, and benchmarking
  • Risk management
  • Claims, disputes, and dispute avoidance
  • Governance and control of projects

What We Offer

The role will also include the end-to-end lifecycle of managing client engagements, using KPMG systems, for which comprehensive training is provided:

  • Management of project teams to deliver client engagements
  • Looking after financial aspects of an engagement with support and under supervision
  • Ensuring we keep clients informed of costs and time incurred, in addition to raising invoices and recovering fees, operating within approved risk processes

Requirements

In addition to the technical requirements of the role, we also expect the right candidate to:

  • Be capable of working alone or within a team, including quickly building rapport and delivering with new teams
  • Provide clear and concise advice to clients
  • Maintain your requirements for continuing professional development
