      Aug 2023 - Present · 3 yrs

      After having executed the role of contract manager within project management during 4 years in several offshore wind projects, I have taken on a new role within the business to support and guide the procurement department both in a commercial and contractual way. As a project purchaser, I proactively make suggestions for purchasing large subcontracting scopes within the project team, both for the offshore wind and the civil industry, and developing new suppliers and maintaining existing relationships. Further, I create, execute and maintain the supply chain plan within the project team whilst having a proactive attitude about suggesting improvements within the procurement process and overall business strategy. As a contract manager within the procurement department, I strive for protecting the business's and project's interests whilst also trying to translate supplier specific requirements into balanced relationships.
