• Supporting procurement activities, including tender analysis and supplier negotiations
• Managing change control, variations, and risk across live projects
• Working closely with engineering, operations, and finance teams to drive cost efficiency
• Providing clear commercial reporting to senior stakeholders
• Supporting continuous improvement in cost control and commercial processes

The Ideal Candidate

• Experience working with contracts and suppliers in a project-based environment
• Confidence working cross-functionally with non-commercial stakeholders
• A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach suited to a fast-moving business
