• Acting as the lead interface for any initiatives where Build related contracting or commercial management might be impacted

You’ll have extensive background in contract/commercial management or quantity surveying, with particular experience in advising and executing contract change or contract drafting. You’ll also bring the following with you:

• Experience managing key stakeholders across all business functions, collaborating effectively across different teams
• Experience in dispute resolution and negotiation
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work with large and complex data sets
• Familiarity with change management processes and practises

We’re looking for people who don’t settle for ‘good enough’ and push things forward. If you’ve just found yourself thinking, ‘I’d love to do this’, we want to hear from you. Let’s change it up.
