Are we right for you...

Do you bring a strong foundation in complex procurement paired with the ability to lead end-to-end sourcing initiatives in a public sector environment?

You go beyond issuing tenders - you drive the full procurement lifecycle. You work closely with project managers, and stakeholders to shape requirements, define deliverables, and negotiate outcomes. Whether the project spans four months or two years, you are comfortable managing complexity, scale, and competing priorities.

If you thrive in environments where you can lead, influence, and bring structure to ambiguity, this could be the next step in your career.

In this role you will be asked to...

Lead complex, multi-phase procurement initiatives from planning through to contract execution, ensuring fairness, transparency, value, and alignment with organizational objectives and public sector requirements.

You will develop procurement strategies and lead RFx processes, including drafting solicitation documents, coordinating evaluations, and guiding stakeholders through structured, compliant procurement activities

You will collaborate closely with project managers, business units, and subject matter experts to clarify requirements, develop specifications, and align procurement approaches with project goals. Your ability to translate business needs into clear procurement documentation will be critical.

You will collaborate on contract development and negotiations, working with internal teams and vendors to support contract finalization while ensuring compliance with trade agreements, procurement policies, and legal requirements.

Your role will conduct market research and supplier analysis to inform sourcing strategies, identify opportunities, and support sound procurement decisions.

You will manage procurement timelines, risks, and process integrity across a range of initiatives—including capital projects, technology, equipment, and professional services—while ensuring a high standard of documentation and audit readiness.

You will act as a trusted advisor, providing guidance to internal stakeholders and supporting procurement best practices across the organization.

Our team contributes to a variety of exciting projects including:

Battery electric buses
Electronic fare collection system
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses
Construction of environmentally friendly facilities
Regional transit system

In this role you will not be asked to...

Be a transactional purchaser focused only on issuing orders. This role is about leading complex procurements, shaping strategy, and driving outcomes—not simply administering routine purchasing activities.

What you might love about this role...

Lead Procurement: Own the competitive process —from early planning and strategy to negotiation and collaborate on contract execution.
Diverse & Impactful Work: Work across a wide range of projects including infrastructure, technology, vehicles, and professional services.
Strategic Influence: Partner with project teams and leadership to shape procurement strategies that deliver organizational value.
Complex Problem Solving: Apply analytical thinking to procurement challenges, balancing risk, cost, and compliance.
Public Sector Impact: Contribute to procurement processes that support essential transit services across British Columbia.

What might not resonate...

High level of ownership and accountability – You are expected to independently lead complex files and drive outcomes.
Regulatory and compliance focus – The role requires a strong understanding of trade agreements, procurement policies, and administrative law.
Ambiguity and evolving priorities – Projects vary in scope and complexity, requiring adaptability and strong prioritization skills.

This role might not be for you if...

Prefer highly transactional or routine purchasing work.
Are not comfortable leading negotiations or influencing stakeholders.
Prefer clearly defined, static requirements rather than shaping them collaboratively.
Are less interested in navigating public sector procurement frameworks and compliance requirements.

What you'll bring to the table...

Some qualities you possess to be successful in this role:

Procurement expertise – strong experience leading complex procurements and managing RFx processes (RFP, RFQ, NRFP, etc.).
Contracting & negotiation – ability to develop, negotiate commercial agreements.
Public sector knowledge – understanding of trade agreements, procurement policies, and administrative law (an asset).
Project leadership – experience managing procurement initiatives of varying size and duration.
Business acumen – able to develop procurement strategies, evaluate markets, and support strategic decisions.
Analytical thinking – strong problem-solving skills with keen attention to detail.
Communication – able to present complex ideas in clear, business-friendly language and influence stakeholders.
Relationship management – builds strong, collaborative partnerships across teams.

To learn more about this role, we encourage you to review the Senior Procurement Officer job description, which outlines the full scope of accountabilities.

What we'll bring to the table...

Comprehensive medical and dental benefits to support you and your family, regardless of what life throws at you
Membership in BC’s Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP). Nationally recognized for its strong investment and governance practices, PSPP is a “defined benefit” plan
Access to fitness and lifestyle centers to help you take care of your physical fitness and health
Various programs that support employees such as an Employee Assistance Program and health and wellness initiatives and events aimed at fostering your mental health
A complimentary employee bus pass (plus taxable dependent passes)
A corporate learning and development program to help you in continuous career growth
An employee recognition program where we all recognize each other's successes (not just your Leaders!)
A social club that gives you access to events throughout Victoria

What next steps could look like...

Interviews will take place the week of July 6, 2026.
There may be an assignment/presentation as part of the interview process.
The position requires the completion of a Criminal Record Check or Vulnerable Sector Search.
An eligibility list may be established for future full time regular and full time temporary vacancies
