Job description

Post-contract cost management in Dubai, reporting to a Commission Manager and carrying personal responsibility for an allocated portfolio of post-contract tasks. The posting is unusually explicit about the contractual work: administering interim applications, change control, the valuation of variations and extension of time claims, each with financial analysis and contractual justification, and administering contract procedures under standard forms with FIDIC named directly.

The holder monitors actual expenditure, commitments and forecast cost against approved budgets, reviews and validates contractor invoices and change orders for accuracy and contractual compliance, and produces cost reports, forecasts and reconciliations between contract terms and financial position for clients and stakeholders.

The employer asks for a bachelor's degree in quantity surveying or a related field and at least four years in cost management and post-contract administration in construction and engineering. Proven UAE construction experience is stated as a requirement, as is strong knowledge of contract administration and FIDIC standard forms.

The posting also asks for the ability to present complex financial information to varied audiences and to prepare detailed cost reports and variance analyses.
