  • Strong cost management and commercial experience.

  • Experience of forecasting, cost reporting and change control.

  • Good understanding of major infrastructure delivery.

  • Experience reviewing and assessing Compensation Events.

Previous water/wastewater infrastructure and Alliance delivery experience would be particularly beneficial.

Contract Details

This is a freelance assignment at £450 per day, with Outside IR35 applicable .

The engagement will operate on a hybrid basis, with project presence in Swillington typically three days per week , alongside remote delivery where appropriate.

This would suit an experienced freelance commercial professional looking to support a major programme of infrastructure investment within the Yorkshire water sector.
