The role
As Procurement Specialist in the Procurement team, you support the contracting phase of our Balance of Plant (BOP) procurement — from preparing and running Request for Proposals through negotiation and signature. You work under the wing of the sourcing leads: they own the deals, you make sure every agreement is complete, consistent, and ready to sign — contract documents, redlines, open points, and approvals — and that signed contracts are handed over cleanly to the project teams who manage execution.
This is a role with a clear growth path: you learn from experienced sourcing and contract professionals, take ownership of contract administration early, and grow step by step toward negotiating complex energy infrastructure contracts with leading EPC contractors and global equipment suppliers for projects across our core markets(Netherlands, Germany and Spain).
