Your responsibilities will include:

• Commercial management of planned works and refurbishment contracts
• Subcontractor procurement and management
• Applications, valuations and payments
• Monthly CVRs, forecasting and cost reporting
• Managing variations and contractual change
• Monitoring budgets, expenditure and profitability
