Contract Formation Manager (Rail/Metro)
We are seeking a Contract Formation Manager (Rail/Metro) to lead the development, negotiation and execution of commercial and contractual arrangements across major rail and metro programmes. Working closely with project, procurement, engineering, finance and legal teams, you will ensure contracts are structured to support successful delivery, manage commercial exposure and align with business and client requirements.
Your responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing invitations to tender, contract terms, schedules, amendments, supplier agreements and partnering arrangements. You will coordinate contract formation activities from pre-award through to execution, ensuring that risks, obligations, deliverables, payment mechanisms, performance requirements and change provisions are clearly defined. You will lead negotiations with clients, delivery partners, subcontractors and suppliers, provide commercially sound recommendations, and maintain accurate records of approvals, clarifications and contractual commitments. The role will also involve supporting governance reviews, contributing to bid and procurement strategies, resolving contractual issues and ensuring compliance with relevant rail, metro, infrastructure and public-sector requirements.
Applicants should have substantial experience in contract formation, commercial management or procurement within the rail, metro, transport, engineering or major infrastructure sectors. You will need a strong understanding of construction and services contracts, risk allocation, subcontracting, change control and commercial assurance, together with the ability to interpret complex contractual and technical information. Excellent negotiation, communication, drafting and stakeholder-management skills are essential, as is the confidence to influence decisions at all levels. A degree or equivalent qualification in quantity surveying, commercial management, law, procurement, engineering or a related discipline is desirable. Professional membership or accreditation, such as CIPS, RICS, WorldCC or equivalent, would be advantageous.
