Your Role

Lidiar Group is seeking a commercially minded and ambitious Associate Consultant – Commercial & Contracts to join our growing team.

As an Associate,



you will provide commercial and contractual consulting support across the full project lifecycle - from procurement and contract formation through project execution, contract administration, commercial management and close‑out.

Our portfolio spans multiple sectors, with assignments undertaken on both the client and contractor side. Our work ranges from discrete consulting and advisory engagements through to embedded and secondment‑style roles working directly within client and project teams.

You will apply and continue to develop your capability across:

- Contract administration and commercial management
- Procurement of supply, subcontract and professional services packages
- Preparation, review and administration of contract documentation
- Management and assessment of variations, claims and contractual entitlements
- Progress claims and payment assessments
- Project budgeting, forecasting and cost control
- Identification, assessment and management of commercial and contractual risks
- Contractual correspondence, notices and project records
- Commercial reporting and project performance analysis
- Negotiation and resolution of commercial issues
- Project close‑out, final accounts and contract completion

This is not simply a contract administration role. We are looking for someone who can develop into a trusted commercial and project consultant - someone capable of understanding a project issue,



investigating the facts and contractual position, considering the commercial implications, developing a practical response and clearly communicating their advice.

The role requires someone who is equally comfortable preparing clear and considered written advice and correspondence as they are discussing and resolving issues directly with project managers, contractors, subcontractors and clients.

You will be expected to understand the commercial drivers behind project decisions, identify emerging risks and opportunities, and help project teams develop practical solutions that protect commercial outcomes while supporting successful project delivery.

For someone currently working within an internal project or commercial team, this is an opportunity to move beyond a single project environment and develop broader capability across Project Consulting, Commercial Advisory, Contract Management and Project Management.
