Reporting to the Regional Project Procurement Manager, or Project Procurement Manager / Lead (as applicable), the Project Procurement Advisor (PPA) is a key, integrated member of a major capital project team, responsible for carrying out planning and execution of all activities related to purchasing, expediting, logistics, field materials management and EPC subcontracting. Given that a PPA s involvement on a project spans from early Stage 2 through Stage 4 facilitate handover to Operations, as well as may include support of both large, complex projects and smaller regional projects, the PPA position can be defined in three specific roles:
1) PPA Development (PPA-D) Onboarding early in Stage 2, the PPA-D supports the development and implementation of project procurement strategies and plans related to equipment and material purchasing (including long lead items), transportation and logistics, onsite materials management and subcontracting activities. Additionally, the PPA-D facilitates execution of early non-WBS service contracts (ex: early study contracts). PPA-D activities typically span through mid/later Stage 3, when the Project nears execution phase. At that time, the PPA role shifts to an execution / EPC oversight and advisory role, defined below.
The PPA-D serves as the point of contact for Project Leadership Team, GPP and CEP Execution Planning regarding planning activities related to the Materials Management function.
2) PPA Execution (PPA-E) Transitioning from the PPA-D around mid/later Stage 3, the PPA-E supports the purchasing / subcontracting activities performed by the EPC contractor and/or in-house procurement group, and ensures progression of aligned commercial strategies to drive schedule and capital efficiencies, while ensuring operational integrity in support of the Project Objectives & Strategies (POS). The PPA Execution typically onboards to a capital project post-Checkpoint 1 in Stage 3, and supports the project through facility handover to Operations, surplus / scrap material disposal and administrative closeout of the project.
In the event there is no PPM / Lead assigned to the project, the PPA-E serves as the point of contact for Project Leadership Team, GPP and CEP Execution Planning regarding execution phase activities related to the Materials Management function.
3) Area Project Procurement Advisor Reporting to the Regional Project Procurement Manager, the Area Project Procurement Advisor (PPA) is a key member of a site-based capital project team organization and serves as the focus for all activities relating to purchasing, contracting / subcontracting, and inventory management, from procurement planning to material warehousing. The Area PPA typically supports multiple smaller value site projects and influences commercial strategies to drive value and capital efficiency while ensuring operational integrity. For regional projects leveraging EPC procurement support, the Area PPA oversees the EPC organization relative to planning and execution of all materials management activities. Given that the Area PPA will typically oversee multiple projects, the Area PPA will also focus on site-specific service contracts and materials agreements to drive efficiencies and cost savings in procurement activities across their portfolio.
