I am writing to apply for the Procurement Manager position. With over 16 years of proven experience in managing project-based procurement across Civil, MEP, and Infrastructure works in KSA, UAE, and Pakistan, I bring strong leadership, technical expertise, and strategic procurement capabilities to support large-scale tender and project operations.
In my current and previous roles, I have successfully handled end-to-end procurement management for high-value infrastructure and civil projects, including Etihad Rail Stage 2A (Abu Dhabi – AED 1.5 Billion / USD 408 Million) involving major rail and infrastructure works, as well as Roads and Civil Works projects in Dubai valued at over USD 200 Million, covering asphalt, drainage, and associated infrastructure. My responsibilities included strategic sourcing, supplier and subcontractor negotiations, material delivery planning, and ensuring timely availability of materials aligned with project schedules.
I have extensive experience leading procurement activities during tender and execution stages, including preparation and issuance of material inquiries and RFQs, evaluation of technical and commercial submissions, and finalization of supplier recommendations in line with BOQs, specifications, and contractual requirements. I work closely with estimation, project controls, planning, and site teams to support accurate tender pricing, optimize procurement strategies, and ensure smooth material flow for fast-track projects.
My expertise includes developing and maintaining robust vendor databases for Civil, MEP, and infrastructure materials, enabling competitive sourcing, cost control, and reliable lead-time management. I possess strong market awareness of construction materials, pricing trends, and supply chain dynamics across the GCC region.
I am proficient in ERP systems including SAP, FACTS, and Microsoft Dynamics, along with advanced use of MS Office, allowing me to manage procurement documentation, reporting, and approvals efficiently while maintaining compliance under tight deadlines.
Highly organized and detail-oriented, I excel in managing multiple procurement packages simultaneously and leading teams in demanding project environments. I am confident that my procurement leadership, negotiation skills, and project experience align well with your organization’s requirements.
I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my experience can support your procurement and tendering objectives. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
