Looking for an interim supply chain leadership opportunity where you can make a genuine impact in just six months?
H-Power is a UK clean-energy technology business developing innovative hydrogen and ammonia-based power solutions, helping industries reduce their reliance on diesel-powered systems.
We’re looking for an experienced Supply Chain Lead to join the business on a six-month fixed-term contract, providing maternity cover during an important period of technology development and production activity.
This isn’t simply a role keeping things ticking over. You’ll have the opportunity to lead an established supply chain team, influence operational priorities and help strengthen how the function supports the wider business.
What makes this opportunity interesting?
Reporting directly to the Operations Director, you’ll have responsibility for day-to-day supply chain leadership, including:
- Leading and supporting the purchasing and goods-in teams, setting priorities and removing obstacles.
- Managing supplier performance, commercial negotiations and procurement escalations.
- Working closely with Engineering, Project Management and Operations to keep critical activities on track.
- Identifying supply chain risks, improving processes and ensuring the function is well-positioned for the future.
You’ll have the autonomy to make decisions, solve problems and contribute directly to the delivery of H-Power’s technology.
What experience will you need?
You’ll have a strong background in procurement or supply chain, ideally gained within engineering, manufacturing, energy or another technically complex environment.
Previous experience as a Senior Buyer, Procurement Lead, Supply Chain Lead or similar would be particularly relevant.
You’ll also be comfortable leading people, managing supplier relationships and working across multiple projects and competing priorities.
