About the Role
At Mace Construct, our purpose is to redefine the boundaries of ambition. We are innovators, trusted partners, and construction experts committed to delivering projects safer, faster, and greener. As part of the Mace Dragados Joint Venture (MDJV), you will play a key role in delivering the new HS2 Euston Station, working alongside HS2 Ltd and design partners to develop new platforms, concourse structures, and interchange links to London Underground and National Rail.

Your responsibilities will include reviewing the Prime Contract, Works Information, CP offer, and all contractual commitments. You will undertake regular project reviews and audits to ensure compliance with contract terms and advise on any conflicts between contract obligations and current legislation. You will review subcontract terms to ensure alignment with the main agreement and manage client changes, including drafting early warning notices and negotiating compensation events.

Additional duties include supporting negotiation of the Consolidation Point with the client, auditing client approvals and consents, managing contractual correspondence, and ensuring all required insurance, guarantees, and warranties are maintained. You will support dispute resolution efforts, provide regular reports to the JV Board on prime contract matters, guide the project team on contractual issues, oversee the JV change control process, and implement the JV Cost Assurance Plan to minimize the risk of disallowed costs.

This role offers the opportunity to contribute to a landmark infrastructure project within a collaborative and innovative environment.
