• Hands-on understanding of quantity verification, progress measurement, and valuation of changes in a construction project environment, with proven experience developing and resolving significant customer and subcontractor claims.
• Experience with quantum and delay analysis and assessing cost and schedule impacts, alongside a strong commercial understanding of project cost, forecast, risks, and opportunities in line with IFRS 15 accounting standards.
