My client is a leading European contractor who have recently been awarded a major project for the construction of a combined cycle power plant. They are currently looking to recruit an experienced expediting manager to be based in madrid for the following;

• Supplier & Vendor Management: Build relationships, monitor performance, ensure timely delivery, resolve issues, and negotiate terms.
• Project Coordination: Act as a liaison between engineering, procurement, quality control (QC), and logistics to meet project milestones.
• Scheduling & Tracking: Oversee expediting logs, provide real-time updates, track shipments, and manage customs clearance.
• Risk Mitigation: Identify potential delays (e.g., long-lead items) and create mitigation plans.
• Documentation: Ensure required documents (certificates, inspection reports) are submitted and approved.
• Team Leadership: Direct and mentor project expeditors and third-party service providers.
• Reporting: Develop reporting systems and provide regular status updates to management.

Candidates should have an engineering or business administration degree or similar but should be able to prove a successful background as an expediting manager on major construction projects. Experience of working on major industrial projects such as power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical plants is welcomed.
