Do you enjoy redlining and negotiating construction contracts and owning each deal from first draft to signature?

We're partnering with a leading global food manufacturer to find a Construction Contracts Analyst for its Indirect Procurement team.

What you'll be doing
  • Redlining and negotiating commercial construction and engineering agreements, including MSAs and statements of work
  • Managing each contract independently from the initial request to final signature by all parties
  • Explaining construction terms and the contract process to internal stakeholders in clear, plain language
  • Working with Procurement Buyers, Category Managers, Legal and Risk Management to agree the right contract approach
  • Arranging e-signatures, keeping contract records up to date and handling renewals and terminations
  • Reporting on contract status, compliance and key metrics


What you'll bring
  • 1-3 years' recent, hands-on experience redlining construction contracts under US law
  • Strong knowledge of Lump-Sum (Fixed-Price), Cost-Plus and Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contracts
  • Working knowledge of common agreements such as NDAs and MSAs and their key clauses
  • Advanced Word and Excel skills for redlining and tracking
  • Strong attention to detail, the ability to handle a high volume of contracts and an ownership mindset
  • Clear, confident communication with project teams, suppliers and stakeholders
  • A degree in Legal Studies, Paralegal Studies, a JD or a related subject


Nice to have
  • Construction contracts experience in a consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturing plant
  • Experience with contract lifecycle management systems and DocuSign
  • Exposure to the RFP process through to contract award


Why apply? You'll take full ownership of construction contracts that support major capital projects at a well-known global brand, with direct access to Legal, Procurement and project teams.
