•	Work closely with Finance, Project Controls, Supply Chain and Programme Delivery teams to ensure consistency and effective commercial reporting.
•	Identify and capture commercial lessons learned throughout the contract lifecycle.
•	Support the delivery of ESG requirements across the programme.

You will ideally have:
