  • Relationship Management: Building strong connections with clients, subcontractors, and your team to ensure smooth project delivery.
  • Strategic Thinking and Negotiation: Advising on procurement and negotiation strategies to resolve commercial issues and develop dispute resolution plans.

  • Tertiary qualifications in quantity surveying, engineering, construction management, construction law, or a related field.

Experience

  • 10+ years of experience in contract management within construction, spanning design & construct, construct-only contracts, and construction management projects. Proven experience in managing commercial teams and navigating complex contractual frameworks.
  • Proficiency in numerical analysis and financial reporting.
  • Strong commercial acumen and contract interpretation skills.
  • Attention to detail with a creative approach to problem-solving.
  • Skilled negotiator with experience in drafting and negotiating complex contracts.
