  • Strong track record in managing complex negotiations at senior level.
  • Familiarity with the NEC suite of contracts.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to manage a varied, high-volume workload.
  • Experience in the utilities or regulated sectors (preferred but not essential).

What’s on Offer

  • Day rate up to £400 (inside IR35).
