• Preparation and agreement of records
• Assisting with the preparation of final account, including pricing
• Assist in the preparation of monthly contract review reports
• Progress towards and achieve professional status
• Keep your manager fully advised of any issue/risk which has arisen or might arise and which could affect the business/project

What skills & experience are we looking for?

• NEC contract experience
• A desire to learn the risk and opportunity process both internal and with our client.
• Willingness to be involved in other activities to achieve company objectives.
