Senior Procurement Buyer - Warwick, United Kingdom - National Grid
Description
About the role
The UK has set out its ambition to be net zero by 2050 and the energy industry is responding – together we are building a cleaner, greener Britain.
Reporting to the Procurement Manager, the Senior Procurement Buyer is responsible for the delivery of Procurement activities for the Future System Operator (FSO), within the Digital, Data and Technology category. The role will support the strategy creation for the category and execute all activities towards the delivery of that strategy, with an eye on value creation across the procured spend base.
This role is based from Wokingham with occasional travel to Warwick when required, and we continue to from office and home.
About us
The ESO has a key role to play in tackling climate change by transitioning GB's electricity system to net zero. We already operate the fastest decarbonising electricity system in the world, with an ambition for zero carbon operation by 2025. And by 2035, we want to run 100% clean, green energy, all the time.
Becoming the Energy Future System Operator
As you may have seen the Government and Ofgem have asked the ESO to take on new roles and responsibilities
Becoming the Energy Future System Operator is a critical step to help deliver a reliable and clean energy transition for all. The ESO, including all of its existing roles, will be at the heart of the new Future System Operator, taking on additional roles with a whole energy system mindset to drive progress towards net zero while maintaining energy security and minimising costs for consumers.
The new organisation will be set up as a public corporation with operational independence from government – bringing parties together to support optimised decision making and action. As now, it will be licenced and regulated by Ofgem through price control agreements. It is anticipated that the new organisation will be up and running by or in 2024.
The time to act on climate change is now. , you won't just be touching the lives of almost everyone in Great Britain – you'll be shaping the way we use and consume energy for generations to come.
