• Prepare and submit monthly valuations and payment applications, and manage cashflow and payment compliance


• Procure, negotiate and administer supply chain and sub-subcontract packages, including orders, subcontract documentation and subcontractor valuations


• Manage change effectively: identify, price, record and negotiate variations, instructions and EOTs, and ensure entitlement is protected and recovered in good time


• Prepare and maintain cost value reconciliations (CVRs), forecasts and cost-to-complete reports, and highlight risks and opportunities early


• Work closely with project managers, contracts managers, site teams and design teams to keep commercial and programme matters aligned


• Build strong working relationships with main contractor commercial teams, and negotiate and agree final accounts


• Maintain accurate commercial records and contractual correspondence


• Contribute to tender pricing and handover into delivery where required
