Drive measurable LCOE reduction and overall value (TCO) through competitive, transparent procurement and disciplined commercial strategies.
Manage awarding proposal approvals per the company approval policy, with robust documentation of assumptions, risks, and mitigations.
Own end-to-end contracting: drafting, redlining, and negotiating supply agreements, framework/blanket agreements, and amendments—ensuring alignment with Repsol standards and risk appetite.
