Job description

Salary: £65,000 – £80,000 (flexible for the right candidate)

Location: Wiltshire, with travel across the wider region

Contract: Permanent (3 days on site/office min.)

You’ll join a growing commercial team delivering electrical infrastructure upgrades under a major utilities framework.

Advance TRS is recruiting on behalf of a leading infrastructure contractor delivering a major electricity network framework across the South of England – a fixed-price NEC Option A framework covering feasibility, design, and construction, with around 90 live contracts ranging from £50k to £15m.

The business was recently carved out from a larger group under private equity ownership and is still shaping its processes – so you’ll have real scope to make your mark early.

What you’ll be doing:

• You’ll manage commercial delivery across live NEC Option A contracts
• You’ll run cost value reconciliations (CVRs) and manage compensation events/change under NEC
• You’ll work closely with subcontractors on‑site – this won’t be a back‑office role
• You’ll support a business still building out its processes, with genuine input into how things are done

What you’ll bring:

• 10+ years’ experience, ideally with main contractor background
• Strong working knowledge of NEC contracts
• Comfort at the coal face managing subcontractors directly, not purely consultancy‑side
• A desire to work towards or continue chartership (supported by the business)

Why you’ll want to join

• You’ll have autonomy and genuine input – the business is still shaping its processes, so you’ll be recognised quickly
• You’ll work within an inclusive, no‑blame culture
• You’ll be actively encouraged and supported towards chartership
• You’ll have travel and hotel costs covered if commuting isn’t practical, though local candidates are preferred
