Contract Associate – NEC / Infrastructure (Thames Water Flagship Project)
Location: London (hybrid)
Company: Alexander Associates Technical Recruitment
Pay Range: Provided by Alexander Associates Technical Recruitment. Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience — talk with your recruiter to learn more.
The Role
You’ll work closely with senior commercial, engineering and delivery teams to manage NEC contract administration across a large and complex programme of work. With a strong grounding in engineering, you’ll bring a practical, technically informed perspective to contract management, ensuring risks are identified early, change is managed effectively, and the project remains commercially robust.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the management of NEC contracts across a major Thames Water project
- Coordinate early warnings, change control, compensation events and programme updates
- Maintain robust contract records, risk registers and cost reporting information
- Work closely with engineering and delivery teams to ensure technical changes are accurately captured and reflected contractually
- Assist with subcontract administration, procurement activities and commercial governance
- Engage with client representatives, internal stakeholders and supply chain partners to maintain clear communication and contractual compliance
- Provide informed advice on engineering impacts, programme implications and risk mitigation
About You
- Engineering professional (civil, mechanical, electrical or similar) who has progressed into contract or commercial management
- Strong understanding of NEC contracts, ideally within water, utilities or large‑scale infrastructure
- Able to interpret technical information and understand how design, programme and construction changes influence contractual obligations
- Detail‑driven, analytical and comfortable managing complex documentation
- Confident communicator who can work across multi‑disciplinary teams and influence project outcomes
- Degree‑qualified in an engineering discipline or equivalent experience
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
You’ll join a contractor delivering one of the most high‑profile projects in the Thames Water portfolio – work that directly improves the resilience and performance of critical water infrastructure across London. Expect strong career progression, a collaborative team environment, and the chance to apply both your engineering knowledge and contractual expertise to a project with significant community impact.
