- Maintain strong commercial control across projects, ensuring budgets are effectively managed, financial targets are achieved, and risks are identified and mitigated.
- Monitor costs, support monthly reporting, review supply chain performance, and provide commercial insight to improve overall performance.
- Build strong working relationships with clients, operational teams, and suppliers, providing guidance on contractual requirements, supporting negotiations, and helping to resolve commercial issues, including dispute avoidance and resolution.
- Review and manage change, supporting contract processes, and ensuring compliance with company procedures, health and safety requirements, sustainability objectives, and statutory obligations.
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, identifying opportunities to improve commercial processes, strengthen controls, and enhance service delivery.
