Procurement Specialist – Performance & Analytics at Scottish Water
It’s not every job where you make a difference for the people of Scotland. But it’swhat’s behind every job here.
Our work keeps Scotland’s water flowing, from reservoir to tap – and from sewer to treatment plant.
Do your bit by using effective supply chain management to achieve our big strategic aims – right here at our procurement centre of excellence in Stepps.
What you’ll do
You’ll be working to our Financial Outperformance Plan, because we like to sail past our targets. But this job’s about more than the bottom line.With over 400 supplier frameworks in the mix, you’llalso keep our Procurement and Supply Chain team on-track by providing high quality data analysis and interpretation and convert that into insights people can act on, even if they don’t find quite the same joy in them as you.
You’ll always be on the lookout for ways to improve delivery: are we being as efficient as we could be? Are we meeting audit requirements? Am I becoming known for my restless enthusiasm for doing things better?
You’ll also be all over the team’s push to embrace digital efficiency – supporting colleagues and finding better ways of working. What you’ll bring?You’ll deliver high-quality results at speed, but have an eye for processes – great analysis is no use if itcan’t be back up with evidence or repeated
What you’ll bring
As a natural influencer (not the YouTube variety), you’ll bring a positive energy and strategic vision to new ideas, getting people on board as you go. You must also share our passion for great data and analysis and delivering great customer service.You’ll also have experience of having worked in a similar field or alternatively a qualification in a numerate discipline.
Looking out for you
While the work we do is important, we know it’s not the only thing that matters. That’s why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.
This role has some weekend working and standby requirements. But you’ll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take time off to volunteer in your community.
When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working. For your future, there’s our pension (the ‘know-what-you’ll-get-when-you-retire’ kind), and life assurance. As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. Not to mention access to SW Splash – handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.
The not-so-small print
This role will be a Grade 6. If you’re new to Scottish Water, you’ll join us on a starting salary of £33,560. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of 44,140.
We'll usually work together at Stepps every Wednesday and every second Monday.
If you’re interested in this role – or know someone else who might be - we’ll be accepting applications until midnight on the 27th of June 2024.
Job offers at Scottish Water are conditional, and will be confirmed on completion of our pre-employment screening, e.g. referencing, criminal record checks, license checks, etc. These checks are conducted on our behalf by a third party. Don’t worry - we’ll ask your permission before starting these checks.
A few final things worth knowing…
Research shows that some people avoid applying for jobs unless they can meet every single criteria. If you’re interested in this job, but don’t tick all the boxes, apply anyway We hardly ever hire people who can do every part of a job from Day One. Everyone has a learning curve. So don’t rule yourself out
Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best. Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters). We're also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. We’re very used to making adjustments, so please don’t be afraid to ask.
As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, it’s important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you don’t already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.
Finally (finally), candidates who haven’t submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database. You won’t need to do anything. Your data will be automatically deleted.
