  • Work closely with the Project Manager/Planner on schedule updates, management of change, progress reporting, Work Breakdown Structure and value‑of‑work‑done matters, revising Control Budgets and forecast revenues in line with approved Variation Orders
  • Review and track the cost and revenue implications of the project VO Register, including all pending approvals, and contribute to maintaining the project Risk & Opportunity Registers
  • Liaise with Supply Chain on requisitioning, manifesting, hire control and goods receipting, ensuring strong alignment between operational and commercial requirements
  • Support Finance with timely, accurate invoicing in line with contract timelines, and assist with the preparation of Project Estimates/CTRs for budgetary purposes
  • Work with Commercial to support tender bids, white book rates and benchmark projects, and provide support in monitoring, tracking and reporting all cost‑of‑non‑quality events and lessons learned
  • Support the timely closure of projects, ensuring reconciliation of all POs and issuance of the final Project Status Report confirming gross margin outcome and cash collection for Project Manager review and approval

Requirements:
