An exciting opportunity has arisen for Contract Managers to join our clients Procurement and Commercial (P&C) team, supporting a major onshore capital delivery programme.

Reporting to the Procurement & Commercial Manager, you will provide essential pre- and post-contract procurement and commercial support across some of the organisation's largest projects. This position offers excellent scope for development within a growing portfolio and the chance to contribute to the continued expansion of this area of the business.

This role would suit someone from a Quantity Surveying background, with experience gained either client-side or contractor-side. Experience within the energy sector is not essential, though it would be advantageous.

  • Support the P&C Manager / Senior Contract Manager in negotiating contract terms and conditions for high-value projects (£50M-£500M), followed by commercial management throughout the delivery phase.
  • Negotiate contract prices, ensuring all costs are fully substantiated and deliver value for money.
  • Demonstrate strong stakeholder engagement and management skills, with the ability to influence, lead, resolve disputes, and apply effective problem-solving.
  • Contribute to cost and forecast management through regular cost reporting, adherence to change management procedures, payment and expenditure control, and cost estimating.
  • Provide robust post-contract commercial management to support project objectives, including negotiating and agreeing compensation events and ensuring compliance with the organisation's Commercial Manual.
  • Comply with all safety policies and procedures, promoting safe working practices internally and externally to support continuous improvement in safety performance.

Qualifications

  • A degree in Quantity Surveying or an equivalent qualification, ideally with (or working towards) professional membership of a relevant body such as RICS or CICES.
  • Experience in estimating, sourcing management, cost and budget management, and contract administration.
  • Experience drafting and interpreting commercial contracts, with knowledge of standard form construction contracts and bespoke arrangements. Experience working with NEC is highly desirable.
