· Support contract administration activities including variations, extensions and budget updates in line with internal processes.

What you’ll bring 

· Experience supporting or managing tenders and contracts within a large, complex organisation, ideally within renewables, offshore, energy, or a comparable infrastructure environment.

· Working knowledge of procurement governance, delegated authority and tendering processes.

· Understanding of operational and contractual risks typical of offshore renewables, such as access constraints, marine operations, safety, environmental obligations and supply-chain considerations.

· Sound working knowledge of operational contracts and their day-to-day application.

· Awareness of health, safety and environmental legislation relevant to offshore operations.
