Produce and maintain detailed cash flow forecasts across the project lifecycle to support client financial planning and internal reporting.
Procurement & Commercial Support
Prepare comprehensive tender documentation for all trade packages, manage the tender query process, and perform detailed bid leveling and compliance reviews.
Produce formal Tender Recommendation Reports and lead trade package review meetings, ensuring a transparent and compliant procurement process.
Manage the monthly pencil requisition process, diligently review all variations, and support the project team in agreeing to rolling and final accounts with subcontractors.
Contract & Financial Oversight
Review and interpret all contractual terms to recommend entitlements related to change orders, claims, and other commercial matters.
Coordinate directly with client finance and accounting teams to ensure accurate reporting and full compliance with all financial controls.
Analyze and report on local labor markets, union implications, commodity fluctuations, and tax impacts to inform project cost strategy and budget updates.
What we expect you to have:
Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Finance, Quantity Surveying, or a related field.
A minimum of 1 year of project experience in the hyperscale or colocation data center construction industry is required.
A minimum of 5-7 years of progressive experience in a project management or cost management role within the commercial construction industry.
