Highlights of TAR Site Procurement Specialist Position

Third party spend accounts for ~60% of the Refining SPU’s total non-hydrocarbon costs and so the Refining Procurement teams must play a key role in working collaboratively with the BUs to ensure this spend is managed competitively. A programme to transform the SPU’s Procurement and Supply Chain Management (PSCM) capability is now under development, combining early improvements in the way that we work and deliver value, with progressive change over the next 2-3 years to fully deliver all of the necessary upgrades in the organisation, processes and systems. The intent is to establish PSCM as a collaborative business partner, where engineering/technical experts work hand in hand with procurement professionals to deliver competitive sourcing decisions and a significant improvement in third party spend and productivity/utilisation. This will be achieved through improvements within procurement and within the business line teams, where the sourcing need is initiated through activities in capital projects, turnarounds, and routine maintenance.
