Capax Mundi is recruiting for a state-backed clean energy and data centre platform in the Middle East. The business is building its renewable energy portfolio and needs a hands-on procurement lead to buy the construction and equipment behind it.

This is a renewables role, not a data centre one. It sits at headquarters and owns how the business buys EPC and construction services, major equipment and delivery. The aim is simple: real competition on every package, the best price and terms the market will give, and contracts that protect the projects.

What you will do

• Lead procurement of construction and equipment for utility-scale renewable energy projects
• Run competitive tenders for EPC, balance of plant and major equipment, and put suppliers into real competition
• Negotiate price, delivery terms, liquidated damages and the wider commercial and contractual package
• Apply market practice across the main contract forms used in renewables, from EPC to supply-only and split packages
• Build and manage the supplier and contractor base, knowing who the credible players are and what they will accept
• Work with the development, engineering and investment teams so procurement decisions support the project case

What you bring

• Hands-on procurement experience on renewable energy projects, solar, wind or storage, at a developer, IPP or EPC contractor
• Packages you have personally tendered, negotiated and closed, not oversight of other people's buying
• Real EPC and construction exposure: you know how projects are built and where contracts go wrong
• A working map of the renewables supply market, its manufacturers, EPCs and logistics providers, and current market terms
• Experience in the Middle East is a strong advantage; experience in comparable emerging markets is welcome
• The appetite to work at start-up pace inside a well-funded business
• Fluent English; Arabic is an advantage
