• Preparation of valuations, variations and final accounts
• Cost reporting and cost value reconciliations
• Monitoring project cash flow and commercial performance
• Administration of contractual notices and correspondence
• Identifying commercial risks and opportunities
• Supporting monthly commercial reporting and forecasting
• Attending project and internal commercial review meetings

• M&E contracting
• Building services
• Commercial fit-out projects
• Building controls and BMS environments
• Technical construction projects
• Refurbishment and upgrade schemes
• New-build commercial developments

You will ideally have:

• Experience administering JCT and/or NEC contracts
• Strong cost management and commercial reporting skills
• The ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications
• Experience working on multiple concurrent projects
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
