Contractual Correspondence: Draft, review, and respond to formal contractual communications to protect the company’s position and ensure accurate, timely communication.
Risk Management: Identify potential risks in contracts and project execution, develop mitigation strategies, and provide proactive advice to reduce exposure to claims or disputes.
Claims & Variations: Oversee the preparation and negotiation of claims, variations, and time extension requests, ensuring all submissions are well-supported and aligned with contractual rights.
Contractual Compliance: Ensure that all project operations comply with the terms of the contract, local regulations, and internal company policies — including obtaining approvals from clients or authorities when required.
Dispute Resolution: Assist in managing and resolving disputes, whether through negotiation, mediation, or formal dispute resolution mechanisms, to avoid costly escalations and maintain project momentum.
Stakeholder Coordination: Work closely with internal teams, subcontractors, consultants, and clients to align on commercial and contractual matters and maintain strong working relationships.
Team Leadership: Guide and support contract administrators and commercial staff across project sites, encouraging best practices and continuous improvement in contract management.
Cost-Plus Contract Experience: Prior experience in administering Cost-Plus Contracts is highly desirable — especially the ability to manage cost tracking, payment mechanisms, and ensure transparency in reimbursable works.
