Category Manager - CAPEX

Hybrid | Regional Role

Are you a commercially minded procurement professional who thrives in complex project environments and enjoys seeing major investments through from design to delivery?

We’re looking for a CAPEX Category Manager to play a key role in our Procurement & Supply Chain transformation journey, supporting large-scale capital investment projects across the business. This is a high-impact opportunity for someone who enjoys working at the heart of major programmes, partnering closely with project managers, engineers and senior stakeholders to turn designs into operational reality.

If you’re motivated by building strong relationships, improving how projects are delivered and creating long-term value from capital spend, this role offers the scope and visibility to do exactly that.

The role

As CAPEX Category Manager, you will take ownership of procurement activity across major capital projects, from early design and specification through to contract award, delivery and completion.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading procurement for large CAPEX projects from concept and design through to delivery and handover
  • Partnering with project managers, engineers and operational teams to shape sourcing strategies and manage risk, cost and timelines
  • Developing and executing CAPEX category strategies to drive value, resilience and supplier performance
  • Managing complex tender processes and contract negotiations with construction and engineering suppliers
  • Building strong, collaborative relationships with senior stakeholders while ensuring compliance with procurement standards and governance
  • You’ll bring a strategic approach to identify, map and present a BIFFA wide procurement approach to CAPEX.

You’ll play a central role in improving how capital projects are procured and delivered, helping embed best practice across the organisation.

What do I need to be successful?

  • Significant experience in strategic procurement, with a strong focus on CAPEX and construction-related categories
  • Proven background working on medium to large, complex capital projects alongside project managers and technical teams
  • Strong commercial and contractual knowledge, with experience running multi-stakeholder tenders and knowledge of NEC and ICE contract forms
  • Excellent influencing and communication skills, with a collaborative, partnership-led approach
  • A proactive, improvement-driven mindset with the confidence to challenge constructively and drive better outcomes.
  • Ability to navigate a diverse business, create strategic overview and an approach that focuses on priorities, value add and outcomes, which will support BIFFA’s objectives

Why join?

  • A pivotal role within a growing, forward-looking procurement function
  • Direct involvement in high-value, business-critical capital investment programmes
  • Real autonomy to shape how CAPEX procurement is delivered across the organisation
  • Exposure to senior leaders and technically complex projects
  • Long-term career development within a major, purpose-driven organisation
