- Running procurement routes and tender processes (incl. RFPs / ITTs, bid evaluation, recommendations)
- Delivering contract administration (predominantly JCT), including change control, valuations, instructions and progress certification (as applicable to the commission)
- Managing stakeholder groups across client, landlord, occupier, design teams and supply chain
- Supporting fee proposals, business development and cross-selling across the PDS platform
- Driving quality, H&S and compliance aligned to C&W governance and client standards
Typical projects
Depending On The Account And Pipeline, Projects May Include
- Commercial office refurbishments and fit outs (Cat A / Cat B)

- Strong capability across cost, programme, risk and procurement
- Working knowledge of JCT contracts and contract administration fundamentals

- Experience across both investor and occupier projects
- Familiarity with governance-heavy client environments and multi-disciplinary teams
