This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in project delivery, quantity surveying, or contract administration who is looking to develop their expertise in contract management. Working closely with senior commercial and project leads, you'll gain hands-on experience with NEC and IChemE forms of contract, supporting the team in managing project costs, risks, and client communications.

  • 1–3 years' experience in a commercial, project coordination, or contract administration role within construction or utilities.
  • Basic understanding of NEC or IChemE contracts (training and mentoring will be provided).
  • Good IT skills including MS Office; familiarity with CEMAR is advantageous but not essential.
  • Strong communication, organisation, and attention to detail.
  • A proactive attitude and eagerness to learn in a fast-paced project environment.
