In this role you will support project teams by executing commercial, procurement and supply chain strategies across low value and low risk requirements, helping to shape contract strategies, guide projects through sanctioning and validation processes, and manage contracts through delivery. You’ll contribute to contractor selection and award in line with EU Procurement Directives, NDA and DSRL procedures, support the management of variations, claims and disputes, and ensure commercial activities align with wider NDA policies on supply chain development, collaboration and socio-economic impact. Alongside this, you will produce high-quality reports and control metrics, maintain accurate procurement data within relevant systems, and undertake associated management appointment responsibilities.

You will bring a relevant qualification (HNC or equivalent) in Science, Engineering or Business, or comparable experience, alongside sound administrative skills and a keen interest in commercial or procurement activity. Experience in commercial environments, NEC3/4 contract management or public sector procurement would be advantageous but is not essential, as we welcome motivated candidates looking to develop. You’ll be organised, deadline-driven and quality-focused, with strong planning, communication and interpersonal skills that enable you to work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders.

If you’re looking for a meaningful role with variety, responsibility and the chance to develop professionally, we’d love to hear from you.

We are looking to hold interviews week commencing Monday 8 June 2026, however, please note that this vacancy may close earlier than the stated deadline should we receive a high volume of applications, so we encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible.
