We are working with our client, a renowned ship owner in London, to assist in the search for a procurement professional to join their team.

Your responsibilities will include ensuring that spares and parts of a high calibre are sourced in the most cost effective and timely way.

You will have at least three years of experience within marine procurement, ideally from the owners side, and you will also have an engineering background. You should be a confident communicator, proactive, have a proven track record of successful negotiations and be commercially minded with a strong awareness of the marine procurement market.
