Job description

Contract Management Manager - APAC (ex China & India) (New Role)

Singapore | Global critical infrastructure leader

A global leader in critical infrastructure technology is creating a new contract management role in Asia. Until now the function has been supported from Europe, but strong regional growth means it’s being set up locally. You'll start by covering Singapore and Malaysia, then build and lead a regional team.

This is a post-award role focused on delivering contracts, not on bids or sales. You'll be the contractual partner to project delivery teams and work closely with regional and country Heads of Projects.

What you'll do

• Manage contracts after award across live projects in Singapore and Malaysia, then the wider APAC (ex China & India) region
• Identify change events early and serve contractual notices on time to protect entitlement
• Prepare, substantiate and negotiate Change Orders through to agreement and recovery
• Prepare extension of time applications and support monthly valuations
• Handle customer disputes, back-charges and claims, including building evidence packages and negotiating resolutions
• Advise Project Managers on contractual and legal obligations, risk and entitlement
• Build and lead a regional team of contract management specialists

What you'll bring

• 3-5+ years in contract management, quantity surveying or project roles on construction or engineering projects (M&E preferred)
• A degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Law, Engineering or a related field
• A proven record of recovering Change Orders and handling claims and disputes
• A strong grasp of contract terms, notice requirements and the legal side of contracts
• Strong negotiation and written communication skills
• The ambition to build and lead a team as the function grows
