About the role
Sedgman is currently seeking a fluent (Portuguese / English) Procurement Manager to join our team in Brazil.
At Sedgman, we deliver some of the world’s most complex mineral processing projects, supporting clients across the global resources and critical minerals sectors. As Procurement Manager, you will lead the procurement strategies, supplier relationships and contracting activities required to support the successful delivery of a major EPCM project.
Based across Belo Horizonte and the project site in Brazil, you will manage procurement activity across equipment, materials, construction, installation and project services. You will work closely with project leadership, engineering, commercial, logistics, suppliers and the client to ensure critical packages are sourced, awarded and delivered in line with project requirements.
This is an opportunity to shape a high-performing procurement function, connect global capability with local market knowledge and ensure the project has the materials, equipment and services it needs at the right time.
In this role, you will:
- Develop and execute the project procurement strategy, plans, procedures and package priorities.
- Lead procurement activities for equipment, bulk materials, construction, installation and project services.
- Manage tendering, bid evaluation, negotiation, recommendation and award processes.
- Establish and maintain effective relationships with local and international suppliers, subcontractors and delivery partners.
- Work with engineering and project teams to ensure procurement activities align with specifications, schedule priorities and construction needs.
- Lead supplier expediting, inspection, quality assurance, logistics and delivery coordination.
- Monitor procurement schedules, commitments, package status, risks and emerging issues.
- Ensure procurement activities comply with project governance, delegated authorities and contractual requirements.
- Manage changes, variations, supplier performance and commercial issues in partnership with the project commercial team.
- Lead and develop procurement personnel across office and site environments.
- Act as a principal procurement contact for project leadership, the client and key suppliers.
- Support safe, ethical and commercially responsible procurement decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
What we’re looking for
You’re an experienced procurement leader with the commercial judgement, delivery focus and stakeholder credibility required to manage complex procurement packages in a major project environment.
- Bachelors Degree in engineering, supply chain, procurement, commerce or a related discipline.
- 15+ years of procurement experience within mining, mineral processing, industrial plant, engineering or construction.
- Professional fluency in Portuguese and English is required.
- Proven experience procuring equipment, construction and installation packages, materials and services.
- Strong understanding of EPCM delivery and the relationship between engineering, procurement and construction.
- Knowledge of the Brazilian supplier and contracting environment is required.
- Demonstrated contract negotiation, supplier management and commercial evaluation capability.
- Experience leading multidisciplinary or geographically dispersed procurement teams.
- Strong understanding of expediting, inspection, quality assurance and project logistics.
- Excellent client-facing, stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
Why this role?
This is an opportunity to lead the procurement strategy behind a major mineral processing project and build the supply partnerships required to convert engineering plans into successful execution.
If you’re looking for more in your next move, you’ll find it here: more opportunity to shape procurement outcomes, more impact through critical supply decisions, more perspective through local and global partnerships, and more purpose supporting the resources and critical minerals projects helping shape the future.
If this opportunity resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you.
Submit your CV in English and a brief cover letter outlining your relevant EPCM procurement and leadership experience.
