Work with Commercial and Programme teams to ensure robust management of change, risk, and commercial positions
Support commercial teams in the negotiation and management of contract amendments, compensation events, variations, and associated commercial positions
Maintain a balanced approach that protects the business while supporting collaborative and strategic client relationships

Client Engagement & Pipeline Development

Build and maintain strong relationships with client stakeholders at programme and commercial levels
Support the development of a pipeline of work packages and framework opportunities in collaboration with Account Managers
Support the development, review, and approval of proposals and quotations, ensuring alignment with customer requirements, delivery capability, and commercial objectives
Support the establishment and growth of long-term framework agreements and strategic customer relationships
Ensure that strong delivery performance leads to repeat business and long-term client partnerships

Operational Excellence & Continuous Improvement

Ensure that effective processes, tools, and ways of working are in place across the business
Drive continuous improvement in delivery performance, efficiency, and consistency
Promote a culture of data-led decision-making and performance transparency
Identify and champion improvements in engineering methods, systems, digital tools, procedures, and ways of working that enhance quality, efficiency, and delivery performance
