Cost & Contracts Manager

Description:

As our Cost & Contracts Manager, you'll play a key role in shaping and supporting major investments across our port network. Working across a portfolio of port development and infrastructure initiatives, you'll provide the commercial expertise, governance and financial oversight that help turn ambitious plans into operational reality. You'll influence investment decisions, support strategic business objectives and help ensure our capital investments deliver long-term value.

This is an opportunity to step beyond a traditional commercial role. You'll work across multiple sites, collaborate with diverse stakeholders and contribute to infrastructure that supports one of Europe's leading ferry operators. If you're looking for meaningful work, variety and the opportunity to make a visible impact, this could be your next journey.

Some Of Your Key Responsibilities
 

• Act as the commercial representative across a portfolio of port development and infrastructure projects
• Drive capital planning, budget forecasting and investment approval processes
• Monitor project and portfolio expenditure against approved budgets and investment approvals
• Identify commercial risks, opportunities and budget variances, providing recommendations to stakeholders
• Manage commercial aspects of contracts, including change control, claims and final accounts
• Collaborate on procurement activities, including tender evaluations and contractor selection
• Prepare commercial updates and reports for project steering groups and senior management
  
   

What You Will Experience

This is a unique opportunity to work at the centre of major port and infrastructure investments across the UK and Ireland. You'll partner with Project Managers, consultants, contractors and senior leaders, helping to shape decisions that support both our operational ambitions and long-term growth.

While the role is primarily based in Birkenhead or Holyhead, you'll also spend time visiting ports and project sites, giving you the opportunity to see first-hand how your commercial expertise contributes to the development of critical infrastructure across our network.

At Stena Line, no two days are the same. One day you could be reviewing investment forecasts for a major development, the next supporting procurement activity or providing commercial insight to senior stakeholders. It's a role that offers variety, challenge and the chance to contribute to investments that have a lasting impact on our business.

Most importantly, you'll be joining a business built on strong relationships, trust and collaboration. Guided by our behaviours of being welcoming, caring and reliable, we support one another to overcome challenges, develop professionally and achieve great results together. This is your opportunity to be part of a business that connects people, places and societies every day.
