• Strong experience managing project costs, subcontract procurement, commercial reporting and final accounts.
• A good understanding of standard forms of construction contracts.
• The ability to work autonomously, take ownership of commercial issues and provide advice and guidance to operational teams.

Experience within the water or wider utilities sector would be advantageous, as would familiarity with NEC and/or IChemE contracts.

The Package

• £55,000 - £70,000 basic salary, depending on experience.
• £5,000 car allowance.
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
