The Project Expediter sits within the Supply Chain Management team and is a critical project delivery role. The purpose of the role is to ensure all Purchase Orders (POs) are managed, tracked, and executed on time; that supplier performance on documentation, FAT, and delivery is monitored and driven; and that any supply chain risks or deviations are identified early and escalated proactively to the UK project team.

Review, log, and maintain a live tracker of all issued POs across all substation packages
-
Confirm PO acknowledgement and acceptance from all suppliers within required timeframes
2. Document Expediting & Submittal Control

Chase, track, and log all contractually required supplier documents: ITP, MDR, drawings, calculations, test plans, O&M manuals, and certificates
-
Monitor supplier document submission schedules against contractual milestones and agreed timelines
-
Coordinate with the UK engineering and design team to ensure timely document review and approval
3. Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) Coordination

5. Warranty Management & Defect Liability Period (DLP)
-
Maintain a warranty register for all procured equipment covering warranty start dates, DLP periods, and expiry dates.
-
Coordinate warranty claim submissions with suppliers on behalf of the UK project team.
6. Risk Identification, Escalation & Contingency Flagging
-
Proactively identify supply chain risks including delivery delays, document non-submission, supplier capacity issues, and quality concerns

Assess risk impact and likelihood — providing early warning to the UK team before issues become programme-critical
7. Supplier Communication & Relationship Management
-
Act as the primary point of contact between the UK project team and suppliers for day-to-day expediting matters.
-
Conduct regular supplier progress calls, document minutes, and circulate action logs
8. Commercial Awareness — Claims, Contractual Notices & Negotiation
