• Manage supplier performance across scope, schedule, technical compliance, and quality.
• Lead structured comment sheets and oversee clarification cycles with suppliers.
• Control risks, opportunities, interfaces, and technical open points across the contract.
• Manage technical changes through CTS workflows, ensuring the client is fully informed.
• Track Delivery To Site (DTS) dates and ensure timely equipment delivery.

You are…

• An effective communicator capable of managing multiple technical interfaces.
• Comfortable coordinating complex supplier and client relationships.
• Detail-oriented and confident reviewing technical documentation.
• Proactive and organised, with strong stakeholder engagement skills.
• A systems thinker able to manage scope, risks, and engineering change.
