- Leading Contract Administration : Managing and administering construction and service contracts to ensure full compliance with requirements and quality expectations. Monitoring schedules, solving day‑to‑day issues, managing stakeholders, and contract communication.
- Driving Quality & Risk Management : Reviewing progress claims, negotiating scope changes, and interpreting contract documents with contractors, consultants, and Client Partners. Identifying and addressing contract risks within your delegated authority.
