Job description

A contract administration post based in the employer's Welshpool office and reporting to the commercial manager, advising and supporting on commercial issues across several diverse projects rather than one.

The posting states the holder will contribute to upstream and downstream contract management, claims resolution, contract negotiation, risk mitigation and the procurement of subcontractors and suppliers, and will advise project teams on contractual issues, help prepare formal contractual correspondence and handle change management.

The employer asks the applicant to demonstrate knowledge across construction contract management and administration, project controls, subcontract procurement, commercial claims, commercial reporting and the identification and management of risk and opportunity, all for civil infrastructure and engineering construction projects.

It also asks for the ability to work autonomously while administering several projects and subcontract packages at once, and for the confidence to liaise and negotiate with external stakeholders. A tertiary qualification in quantity surveying, engineering, construction project management or commercial law is stated as the ideal background. Full time.
