1 Assistant Commercial Manager will work on a Rail Systems Contract (Track, M&E, HV Power, Overhead line, Telecoms etc) based on a design and build NEC3 Option C Contract, typically valued £300m - £500m. What makes this role both unique and challenging is to get the 11 different main contractors to work collaboratively to fully integrate the rail system – something that didn’t happen at Crossrail – HS2’s solution is the Rail System Alliance – a unique alliance framework put together by HS2 to deliver the 11 Rail Systems contracts in a collaborative and intergraded model by offering contractual incentives and deterrents to ensure correct behaviours are developed to build a fully integrated railway system. The Preferred bidder will be awarded in June 2024 the ACM will support on a mix of contract administration duties and contract mobilisation
1 Assistant Commercial Manager will either work on £1.5bn Rolling Stock Contract, NEC3 supply contract – this is in post contract stage, therefore will support on contract administration duties or will work on a £150m On Track Machine Contract which is in precontract procurement stage.
The Assistant Commercial Manager will mainly work post contract within the delivery teams on the HS2 Contract and are tasked with supporting contract administration of the contract – supporting the Commercial Manager in all commercial activities such as Compensation Events (managing Change), managing Risk, Cost Assurance, Applications of payment, reporting etc.
Work Situation – Hybrid / Flexible working options
The office location is Birmingham Snowhill or London Euston (your choice) they operate a flexible hybrid working model working 2 days a week from the office, often less during design development stage. Overall, this is a very flexible modern employer who cares about delivery not where you deliver from.
