We are building out our commercial function to match — and this is a newly created role at the heart of it.
The Role
This is a hands-on contracts administration role with exposure across the full project lifecycle; from scoping and subcontractor engagement through to progress claims, variations, and final account.

For the right person, this is an exceptional platform to grow into a senior contracts or commercial management career.

Experience in contracts administration is highly desired — as is administration experience within a trade-based business

A clear communicator who can hold a firm line with subcontractors while keeping the relationship intact
Organised and detail-focused; you keep a clean paper trail without being asked
Strong Excel skills with a drive to continuously develop and improve
