  • Advising on all financial aspects of contracts, ensuring that valuations are optimized, certified, and paid punctually.
  • Overseeing site progress and proactively issuing necessary notices in line with contractual procedures and timelines.
  • Preparing forecasts of costs and values across all trades, including preliminaries, and monitoring and reporting on these.
  • Developing preliminaries budgets in conjunction with contract personnel, while monitoring and reporting on the same.
  • Ensuring that all quotations are meticulously vetted and comply with specifications, securing the most competitive bids.
  • Facilitating regular meetings to agree on variations rather than leaving them until the final account stage.
  • Effectively managing subcontractor accounts to enhance contract performance.
  • Supporting the Operations Team as needed, securing labor, materials, and subcontractors to ensure timely and budget-compliant contract completion.
  • Ensuring all work is conducted in accordance with the Company's Health and Safety Policy and Quality Manual.
