Job Description
Senior Third Party Agreements Manager
(Infrastructure / Utilities Focus)
The Role
This is a senior-level post within a nationally significant infrastructure programme (NSIP), where you’ll take the lead on all things related to third-party legal agreements. Think high-stakes coordination, multidisciplinary interface management, and a healthy amount of legal and commercial negotiation. You’ll be the thread that connects technical requirements with stakeholder expectations and regulatory obligations - all while keeping the programme moving.
You’ll need to be confident working in the thick of a complex delivery environment, helping to untangle risk, bring clarity to negotiations, and ensure that every agreement is watertight before a single shovel hits the ground.
What You'll Be Doing
*
Shaping and delivering the project-wide strategy for Third Party Agreements (TPAs) - from early engagement to close-out.
*
Leading on the legal and commercial interface with statutory undertakers. You’ll be the point person for negotiating, drafting, and resolving issues in protective provisions, side agreements, and other legal instruments.
*
Collaborating closely with legal, engineering, stakeholder, and environmental teams to embed third-party requirements into both the DCO and the wider delivery programme.
*
Developing and maintaining the TPA Management Plan, and making sure it aligns with project governance - from environmental assessments to design sign-offs.
*
Keeping a firm grip on tracking tools and registers (Mitigation Tracker, Commitments Register, etc.) and ensuring everything is properly documented.
*
Representing the project in meetings and negotiations with stakeholders - including technical working groups, legal workshops, and public consultations.
*
Providing senior-level reporting on progress, spend, and risk - particularly where external parties are involved.
What You’ll Need to Bring
Must-Haves:
*
Proven experience managing statutory undertaker engagement and Third Party Agreements on major infrastructure schemes.
*
Solid understanding of the DCO process or similar statutory consenting routes.
*
A good commercial and legal head - especially when it comes to drafting and negotiating formal undertakings with utility companies, public bodies, and landowners.
*
A history of getting things done across complex, multi-stakeholder environments and within tight statutory timescales.
Nice-to-Haves:
*
Membership (or progress toward) a relevant professional body like RICS or RTPI.
*
Practical knowledge of infrastructure planning and delivery.
*
Experience drafting or reviewing legal documentation such as licences, MoUs, and protective provisions.
Your Day-to-Day Could Include
*
Writing and owning the project’s TPA strategy and governance framework.
*
Taking charge of the drafting process - including negotiation, conflict resolution, and final wording.
*
Running the TPA register, prioritising risks, and tracking programme impact through regular reporting cycles.
*
Setting the engagement approach for a wide range of third parties - utilities, Network Rail, ports, local authorities, private landowners, and more.
*
Monitoring TPA-related spend and tracking exposure against programme budget.
*
Ensuring that no work starts without executed agreements in place - and flagging any issues that could delay delivery.
*
Leading and mentoring a small team, and supporting package engineers with advice on statutory processes and consent pathways.
You’ll also be expected to deliver:
*
A robust TPA Management Plan
*
A weekly dashboard and live register of third-party agreements
*
Monthly reporting on accepted cost estimates
*
A clear stakeholder engagement plan
*
Up-to-date risk and opportunity logs
*
Close-out packs for each agreement, including liabilities, cost, and IP documentationBefore You Apply
