Identify and manage commercial risks, assumptions and opportunities through detailed review of tender documentation, customer requirements and market intelligence.
Engage and negotiate with specialist supply chain partners to secure best-value solutions while ensuring effective mobilisation, transition and long-term contract success.

We are looking for:

Proven experience of estimating and pricing complex Hard FM contracts, with a strong understanding of mechanical and electrical building services within operational environments.
