About the Role
Murphy is recruiting a Supply Chain Lead to work with the Energy Team on the SSE ASTI Framework. Our business is renowned for extensive in-house expertise, experience, and a continuous drive to innovate within the industry to create added value for all customers. We support groundbreaking transmission and distribution projects across four countries, ensuring energy security for decades to come. Our services include design, construction, and commissioning, delivering Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) projects for both regulated and private customers, alongside technical and engineering solutions within conventional power and energy transition markets.

As a Supply Chain Lead at Murphy, you will shape supply chain structuring, capability planning, and market engagement. You will oversee supplier performance and relationship management to drive continuous improvement, efficiency, and value. You will manage and embed ISO 44001, promoting collaborative behaviours and long-term relationships with key partners. Your role includes leading local and SME engagement through Supply Chain Roadshows and Meet the Buyer events, embedding social value, carbon reduction, and community commitments into supply chain strategies and supplier performance frameworks.

You will monitor supply chain capacity, financial resilience, and risk, providing clear insight and recommendations to senior leadership. Enabling innovation and modern methods that improve cost efficiency, buildability, programme certainty, and sustainability will be key. Ensuring contractual compliance and governance across the supply chain, acting as a key interface between suppliers, project teams, internal departments, and the client is essential. You will produce reports, data, and insights to enable decision-making and KPI delivery, and visit sites and supplier premises as required to enable effective engagement and performance management.

Experience
Strong background in supply chain management within major construction or infrastructure projects. Demonstrable experience operating at a business-planning level, influencing delivery outcomes rather than managing day-to-day buying.

Comfortable presenting to supply chain audiences at events and engagement forums. Strong understanding of construction processes from pre-construction through delivery. Commercially aware, with a good working knowledge of contracts and risk.

About you
Passionate about delivering social value and sustainable supply chains. Strong organisational, communication, and time management skills. High level of IT literacy, including Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. Construction, engineering, or infrastructure background preferred.

Qualifications
No specific qualifications stated; however, relevant experience and skills in supply chain management and construction are essential.
