Job Description

This role partners closely with Construction and Preconstruction teams to convert project requirements into clear contractual frameworks, ensuring commercial terms, pricing structures, and risk allocation are well-defined and executable.

In addition to hands-on contract execution, this position strengthens site capability by providing real-time guidance, coaching, and practical support to improve scope definition, vendor comparison, and overall commercial decision-making.
