  • Support government clients on complex procurements, including business cases, commercial models, market engagement, and contract negotiations.
  • Lead or contribute to procurement strategy, bid evaluation, and transaction management.

  • Draft and review commercial principles, contracts, and negotiate to achieve strong results.
  • Engage with government, delivery partners, and stakeholders to build trusted relationships.
  • Identify and manage risks while ensuring strong governance and probity.

To be successful you will have:

  • Tertiary qualifications in a relevant field.
  • 5–10 years' experience in commercial advisory, transaction management, or procurement, ideally in water or major infrastructure projects.
  • Strong skills in financial modelling, negotiation, and commercial analysis.
  • Proven ability to develop business cases and commercial advice.
  • A background in consulting or the public sector is highly regarded.
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, solution-focused mindset.

At Sequana, you'll work alongside some of the brightest minds in infrastructure advisory, on projects that truly matter. They are passionate about delivering meaningful outcomes for communities while fostering a supportive, collaborative, and growth-focused culture.

If you're ready to make your mark on the future of infrastructure, apply now.
