About the Role

Your role involves closely monitoring costs against budgets and producing regular cost reports and cash flow forecasts. You will measure works, review and certify interim payment applications, assess variations and claims, and advise on entitlements, valuations, and contractual positions. Supporting tendering, procurement, and bid evaluation will also be part of your responsibilities, along with administering commercial aspects of FIDIC-based contracts and preparing and agreeing on final accounts. Identifying cost-saving opportunities through value engineering while working closely with the project team, contractors, and client representatives will be essential for your success.
