• have solid skills and experience within procurement contract management in both the sourcing and execution phase of complex CAPEX projects
• have knowledge of FIDIC and other contracts and preferably offshore works
• possess great stakeholder management skills and are able to cooperate efficiently with colleagues from other in-house functions within a matrix organisation set-up
• have strong negotiation and communication skills, enabling you to convey your message in a concise and efficient manner
• speak and write English fluently.

Moreover, you have a positive, result-oriented and proactive approach to your tasks as well as having a structured and analytical approach to your work, enabling you to manoeuvre and deliver business-critical projects successfully.
