We are supporting a global technology leader on one of the most ambitious capital programmes currently underway — a large-scale data centre expansion spanning multiple sites across Europe and North America. We are looking for a Contract Manager to join this programme on the owner's side — someone who has built solid EPC contract administration foundations and is ready to step into a complex, high-value environment where the work is varied, the pace is real, and the exposure to senior programme leadership is significant. What you will be doing Day-to-Day Contract Administration Own the administration of one or more EPC packages — managing correspondence, maintaining contract registers, tracking key dates and obligations, and ensuring nothing slips through the gaps. Variation Orders & Change Management Support the identification, assessment, and processing of variation orders and change events. Build a clear audit trail and ensure entitlement positions are well documented from the outset. Claims Support Assist in the preparation and review of contractor claims — gathering contemporaneous records, cross-referencing contract provisions, and supporting the senior team in forming and defending the client's position. Draft and manage formal contractor communications in a timely and contractually sound manner.



Understand the importance of what is said, how it is said, and when. Reporting & Tracking Maintain accurate commercial and contractual trackers. Produce clear internal reporting that gives programme leadership visibility of exposure, progress, and open items. What we are looking for * 7–10 years of experience in contract management or contract administration within EPC or major capital project environments * Hands?on experience with variation orders, change management, and contractor correspondence — not just exposure, but ownership * Engineering, quantity surveying, or construction management background — we need someone who can engage credibly with contractors on technical and commercial matters * Data centre, critical infrastructure, or large?scale MEP experience is a strong advantage * Detail?oriented and organised — you understand that contract management lives or dies on the quality of the record * Clear and confident communicator, written and verbal * Comfortable working in a fast?moving, multi?stakeholder programme environment * Europe?based, willing to travel to sites as required Duration 8–12 months with strong possibility of extension #J-*****-Ljbffr
