Job Description:

We are seeking a high-caliber Procurement Manager to lead the strategic sourcing and supply chain operations for our Oil & Gas division in Delta State. In the upstream and midstream sectors, procurement is the lifeline of project continuity; a single day of delay in specialized equipment can stall multi-million naira operations.

Your mission is to architect a resilient, cost-effective, and compliant supply chain. You will be responsible for the end-to-end procurement lifecycle—from managing complex technical tenders and international vendor relations to ensuring 100% adherence to Nigerian Content (NOGICD Act) regulations. If you have the commercial grit to negotiate high-value contracts and the technical depth to manage oilfield equipment procurement, we want you to lead our supply chain.

Requirements:

1. Strategic Sourcing & Contract Engineering

• Category Management: Lead the procurement of specialized Oil & Gas assets, including drilling consumables, MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) supplies, and heavy machinery.

• Vendor Governance: Build and manage a "Gold Standard" database of pre-qualified local and international vendors, conducting regular performance audits and risk assessments.

• Negotiation Leadership: Execute high-stakes negotiations to secure favorable terms, focusing on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) rather than just unit price.

2. Compliance & Local Content Stewardship

• NOGICD Act Adherence: Ensure all procurement activities maximize Nigerian Content, maintaining full compliance with the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) guidelines.

• Regulatory Liaison: Manage permits, duty exemptions (where applicable), and customs clearance for imported technical equipment to ensure zero-bottlenecks at the port.

• Ethical Procurement: Enforce strict anti-bribery and corruption (ABC) policies across the entire supply chain.

3. Logistics & Inventory Optimization

• Supply Chain Velocity: Coordinate with the logistics team to ensure the "Just-In-Time" delivery of materials to operational sites in Delta and offshore.

• Inventory Integrity: Oversee warehouse management to prevent overstocking and capital tie-up, ensuring critical spares are always available for emergency repairs.

Qualifications and Skills:

Professional Profile

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree (BA/BSc/HND) in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field.

• Certification: Membership in CIPS (Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply) or CASSCM is highly advantageous.

• Sector Expertise: Proven experience in Oil & Gas procurement is mandatory, with a deep understanding of oilfield equipment and technical specifications.

• Location: Must be willing to work/reside in Delta State.

Core Competencies

• Analytical Prowess: Ability to interpret complex market trends and price indices to forecast procurement costs.

• Communication: Exceptional negotiation and interpersonal skills for managing diverse stakeholders and international suppliers.

• Software Literacy: Proficiency in ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics) for transparent tracking of POs and invoices.
