I was responsible for Structural Steelwork, Small Part Steelwork and fixings with total contract value of approx. £65m across 8 suppliers. I was also the lead Contract Manager on the Great Western Route Modification project, this involved managing all orders for the project, supporting the Supply Chain Manager in Project meetings, covering where required and working closely with the project finance teams. This required the use of effective supplier management, negotiation skills (for which I attended a negation practitioner course) and customer focused behaviours. I was then appointed as the Employer Facilitated Contract Manager looking after contracts of approx. £250m across 5 suppliers; this involved not only managing the suppliers but also working with IP projects providing contractual and legal advice in regards to the frameworks. I was required to work with external contractors to assist in the call off procedure. Due to the complex nature of these contracts I have significantly improved my knowledge of contract and procurement law allowing me to positively challenge suppliers and protect NR’s interests. I am currently the lead contract manager, with others assigned for all projects being delivered by NSC electrification. Overseeing and formulating the CM process, assisting where required and guiding others in terms of project queries.
