Contract Analyst

We are recruiting for a Contract Analyst to provide contractual expertise across both pre-contract and post-award phases of project delivery. The role is embedded within the Commercial team and operates across the Group's port, fabrication, IRM, and access businesses, with direct exposure to some of the most technically complex and commercially significant infrastructure projects in the UK energy transition market.

The Contract Analyst will be responsible for reviewing and qualifying contract documents, identifying commercial risk, and supporting the development of contracting strategies aligned with Maraen's commercial governance framework. The role requires a structured, analytical approach combined with the commercial pragmatism to support competitive tender submissions and live project delivery simultaneously.

Key Accountabilities

• Review, analyse, and mark up contract documents including NDAs, MSAs, NEC contracts, bespoke client terms, and subcontract forms, identifying deviations from Maraen's standard commercial positions.
• Develop structured contract qualifications and commentary for inclusion in tender submissions, ensuring deviations on liability, indemnity, insurance, and payment terms are clearly articulated and commercially justified.
• Support pre-contract negotiations by preparing redline mark-ups, position papers, and negotiation strategies in collaboration with the Head of Commercial and legal advisers.
• Administer live contracts across Maraen's project portfolio, maintaining compliance with notification requirements, change control procedures, and contractual obligations.
• Issue and manage contractual notices, early warnings, and compensation event submissions in accordance with applicable contract mechanisms, particularly under NEC and FIDIC frameworks.
• Maintain comprehensive contract records and audit trails across all projects, ensuring documentation standards support dispute avoidance and commercial governance.
• Identify and escalate liability exposure, insurance gaps, and commercial risk within contract packages, providing structured recommendations to the Head of Commercial.
• Support the development and maintenance of Maraen's standard contracting positions on key terms including liability caps, indemnity structures, consequential loss, IP, data protection, and step-in rights.
• Assist in reviewing and onboarding subcontract arrangements, ensuring pass-through of relevant client obligations, flow-down clauses, and HSEQ requirements.
• Provide contract interpretation support to operations and project delivery teams on live scopes, ensuring day-to-day activities are conducted within the agreed contractual framework.
• Contribute to post-award commercial reviews and lessons-learned processes to improve future contracting strategy and risk identification.
• Support the holding of Board of Directors and Shareholder meetings.
• Support the preparation of necessary resolutions in a proper manner.
• Support, develop and enhance Maraen Corporate Governance.
