Procurement is central to Contract Services at Turner & Townsend. It underpins how we shape commercial strategies, manage supply chains, and deliver value across the entire project lifecycle. As a graduate, you will gain hands-on experience across a variety of specialist service areas, each playing a vital role in helping our clients achieve successful outcomes on complex programmes.
You will work at the front end of the project lifecycle, collaborating with global clients to develop business and commercial strategies, procurement and supply chain plans, and detailed contract documentation. This team helps clients maximise value, reduce risk, reach sustainability goals, and leverage digital procurement tools to drive innovation and transformation.
This team focuses on strategic procurement for high-profile, large-scale programmes across the UK and internationally. You will help design and deliver complex commercial strategies that consider market capacity and long-term outcomes. The work supports clients in embedding ESG principles, strengthening supply chains, and achieving best-in-class results.

This includes delivering initiatives such as Sustainable Procurement, Digital Procurement, Target Operating Models, Cost and Spend Transformation, and Procurement Strategy. You will be part of teams driving meaningful, lasting change in how organisations operate.
Working alongside subject matter experts, you will help clients define their commercial success factors and risk appetite. You will contribute to pricing strategies, incentivisation models, and contract administration tools that align with project goals and third-party relationships.
You will play a key role in ensuring contracts are clear, concise, and aligned with client strategies. Working with both bespoke and standard forms (e.g., NEC, JCT, FIDIC), you will engage with clients, legal teams, and procurement professionals to produce robust documentation that supports successful project delivery.
This role is primarily office-based, and colleagues are expected to work from the office for the majority of the working week. Candidates must have the legal right to work in the UK.
