MEP Procurement Lead – Data Centre & Advanced Manufacturing Projects
We’re supporting an international contractor delivering complex projects across data centre, pharmaceutical and advanced manufacturing sectors, looking to appoint an MEP Procurement Lead into their preconstruction team.
This isn’t a transactional buying role.
You’ll take ownership of how MEP packages are procured across multiple projects — from early-stage strategy through to tendering, negotiation and placement.
What you’ll be doing:
* Leading procurement of mechanical & electrical packages across live and upcoming projects
* Working closely with preconstruction, estimating and delivery teams to shape procurement strategy
* Running full tender processes – from take-offs and RFQs through to bid analysis and post-tender negotiation
* Engaging and developing supply chain across mechanical and electrical subcontractors
* Providing real market insight on pricing, risk and package strategy
What they’re looking for:
* Experience procuring MEP packages within construction (either main contractor or MEP subcontractor side)
* Strong technical understanding of MEP systems and interfaces
* Comfortable reading drawings, specs, schematics and running take-offs
* Proven experience leading tender processes and negotiations
* Ability to operate across both preconstruction and project delivery
Why this role stands out:
* Genuine ownership of MEP procurement strategy — not just execution
* Exposure to technically complex projects (data centres, pharma, advanced manufacturing)
* Involvement from early-stage tender through to project delivery
* Frankfurt based with limited, planned travel
If you’ve hit a ceiling in your current role or want more influence over how packages are bought and delivered, this is worth a conversation.
