    • Negotiate commercially favourable outcomes for Field.
    • Work with Legal to refine key contract clauses, such as liquidated damages, warranties, and limitations of liability.
    • Onboard new contractors and refine our project requirements with our in-house technical team.
    • Ensure contractors' proposals are comprehensive and commercially watertight.
  • Lead Procurement of O&M and Asset Management Services
    • Carry out end-to-end procurement activities for O&M contracts, running concurrently with construction project procurement activities.
    • Carry out end-to-end procurement activities for asset management services in time for projects to enter commercial operations.
  • Support Construction Project Managers
    • Work with finance, technical teams, and the Head of Procurement & Supply Chain to evaluate contract variations, extensions of time, and amend the schedule of works and pricing.
    • Carry out commercial variation work in accordance with the obligations of our lenders.
  • Continuous Improvement and Team Building
    • Identify weaknesses in our processes and continually strive to improve the way we work.
    • Implement new systems/software and roll out to cross-functional teams.
    • Assist in finding new talent to grow the team.
    • Onboard new members of the construction procurement team and work with them to build best-in-class scalable processes and procedures.
