• A genuine interest in developing a career within commercial contracts
• Good understanding of contract principles and legal documentation
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to analyse information
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Commercially minded with a practical approach to problem solving
• Confident working with a range of internal and external stakeholders
• Experience within manufacturing, engineering, defence, aerospace or another regulated environment would be beneficial but is not essential
What's On Offer

• Annual bonus scheme
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Holiday purchase scheme
