About you
You will have substantial experience in a commercial, contract management or project-based role, ideally within construction, engineering, infrastructure, manufacturing or a related sector. You should have a sound understanding of contract terms, financial management, procurement and risk control, together with the confidence to negotiate effectively at all levels.
Excellent analytical, organisational and communication skills are essential. You will be comfortable working with financial data and reporting systems, able to prioritise competing demands and capable of making well-informed decisions in a changing environment.
