The Utilities, Energy & Waste portfolio supports councils to access essential services and solutions across areas such as energy, waste management, utilities and related infrastructure.

You will contribute to procurement programs and category strategies that connect councils with capable contractors, specialist expertise and innovative solutions.
In this role you will:
- Contribute to the development and delivery of portfolio and category strategies
- Support complex procurement and tender programs from market engagement through to contract establishment
- Build trusted relationships with councils, contractors and key stakeholders
- Monitor panel utilisation, supplier performance and market trends to identify opportunities for improvement

This means your work does not just influence one organisation, but helps shape how an entire sector accesses the market.

- The opportunity to work across diverse utilities, energy and waste categories
- An environment where initiative, insight and influence drive success
- The opportunity to work across a diverse, multi-customer ecosystem
- Exposure to complex procurement and commercial challenges
- A culture built on engaged, empowered and accountable people who enjoy being part of a talented team
- Hybrid working arrangements, with three days in the office and two days working from home
At LGP, you will develop your commercial and procurement capability while contributing to meaningful outcomes for councils and communities across NSW.
About you
You are a commercially minded procurement professional who can bring strategic thinking, market insight and strong stakeholder management skills to a complex and evolving environment.
You bring:
- Experience in category management, procurement or commercial roles
- Strong strategic thinking and market insight capability
- Experience delivering procurement or sourcing initiatives
- The ability to build trusted relationships and influence stakeholders
- Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills
- A collaborative approach and the ability to work across multiple priorities
