• Identify and manage commercial risk, escalating issues as needed
• Work closely with project management, construction and site teams to align commercial and delivery priorities
• Prepare and present commercial reporting for internal and client stakeholders
• Support final account settlement and close out processes

Requirements

• Experience in a commercial management role on large scale construction projects
