  • Supporting management with the resolution of disputes and claims; instructing and overseeing external legal advisers when required, ensuring quality and cost control.
  • Delivering internal training on contract awareness and other relevant legal topics.
  • Driving compliance programmes, including anti-fraud and data protection, and delivering associated training.
  • Contributing to legal initiatives such as contracting standards and approval matrices.
  • Undertaking any other duties as may be reasonably required, provided you have the necessary training and competency levels.
  • Complying with Level 1 of HSE Employee Responsibility and Accountability.
  • Complying with Level 1 of Peterson Values & Behaviours.

PERFORMANCE MEASURE

Performance will be reviewed against objectives set during the employee appraisal process, including feedback received from internal and external customers.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
