About the Opportunity

NAIT is seeking a Strategic Procurement Specialist, to provide advanced procurement, commercial, contracting, and contract-management expertise for complex procurement initiatives, with a primary focus on supporting Facilities Management and Development (FMD).

As a senior individual contributor, the Strategic Procurement Specialist independently manages procurement initiatives from early planning and stakeholder engagement through competitive solicitation, evaluation, negotiation, contract execution, and transition to contract management.

The successful candidate will proactively engage FMD Capitals Projects and Maintenance and Operations to understand their needs, upcoming initiatives, existing contracts, and procurement priorities. This position will help stakeholders assess procurement readiness, develop sourcing strategies, manage procurement and contractual risks, and establish realistic timelines and contract management.

This opportunity is well suited to an experienced procurement professional in construction, capital projects, facilities or construction-related procurement and contracting with strong attention to detail, sound commercial judgment and demonstrated ability to interpret and negotiate construction and consultant contract terms and conditions.

This position does not have formal people-leadership or supervisory responsibilities.

Assess procurement readiness with stakeholders, including scope and specification completeness, design maturity where applicable, budget and approval status, scheduling dependencies, market conditions, and allocation of responsibilities.
Develop procurement and contracting strategies, solicitation documents, evaluation methodologies, pricing structures, negotiation plans, timelines, and defensible award recommendations appropriate to the scope, value, complexity, risk, and market conditions of each requirement.
Advise project teams on procurement and commercial considerations associated with construction delivery and contracting approaches, including stipulated-price contracting, construction management, design-build, and other appropriate delivery models.
Lead complex competitive procurement processes, including contractor and consultant prequalification's, public tenders, RFX's and other approved procurement methods.
Lead procurement activities throughout the competitive process, including bidder inquiries, site meetings where applicable, addenda, compliance reviews, evaluations, clarifications, negotiations, approvals, awards, and supplier debriefings.
Review, interpret, prepare, and negotiate construction, consulting, maintenance, and other commercial agreements, including supplementary conditions, within approved authorities, standards, and risk parameters.
Coordinate specialized reviews with General Counsel, Finance, Risk, Insurance, Health and Safety, technical project leads, and other subject-matter experts.
Provide post-award commercial and contract-management support, including amendments, renewals, construction change orders where applicable, contractor or consultant performance matters, corrective actions, claims, disputes, and contract closeout, in collaboration with the designated project or contract owner.
Ensure procurement activities comply with applicable legislation, trade agreements, NAIT policies, delegated authorities, procurement procedures, and principles of fairness, transparency, accountability, consistency, and defensibility, and maintain complete and audit-ready procurement and contract records.

Skills & Abilities:

Strong strategic sourcing and competitive procurement expertise across complex procurement environments.
Strong knowledge of construction procurement, contracting, and contract-management practices, including contractor and consultant procurement, construction delivery models, pricing structures, insurance, bonding, contract changes, and commercial risk allocation.
Advanced contract interpretation, commercial negotiation, contract management, analytical, and risk assessment skills.
Exceptional attention to detail when reviewing solicitation documents, agreements, supplementary conditions, specifications, pricing, qualifications, exclusions, and proposed contract changes.
Sound professional and commercial judgment, including the confidence to constructively challenge incomplete requirements, unrealistic timelines, unsupported procurement approaches, and unacceptable commercial terms.
Strong stakeholder-management, consultation, facilitation, negotiation, and relationship-building skills, with the ability to influence outcomes without formal supervisory authority.
Excellent written and verbal communication, organizational, and project-coordination skills, with the ability to independently manage multiple complex priorities.
High standards of integrity, confidentiality, fairness, consistency, and professional accountability, with proficiency in enterprise procurement, contract-management, document-management, and Microsoft 365 applications.

Qualifications:

A post-secondary diploma in supply chain management, procurement, business administration, commerce, finance, construction management, engineering, law, or related discipline. Degree is an asset.
Four to five years of progressively responsible experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, contracting, or commercial negotiation, including direct experience supporting construction, capital projects, facilities, or construction-related procurement and contracting.
Demonstrated experience independently leading complex construction-related competitive procurements from planning and solicitation through evaluation, negotiation, award, and contract execution.
Demonstrated experience reviewing, interpreting, preparing, and/or negotiating construction and construction-related consulting agreements.
Demonstrated experience providing post-award construction contract-management support, including amendments, change orders, contractor or consultant performance matters, claims, disputes, and contract closeout.
Demonstrated experience working with project and technical stakeholders to assess procurement readiness, identify commercial and contractual risks, and develop appropriate procurement and contracting strategies.
Demonstrated ability to independently manage multiple procurement and contract-management initiatives of varying value, complexity, and risk.
Equivalencies may be considered.
