Analyze project risks, escalation impacts, and budget variances, and propose mitigation strategies.
Serve as a trusted advisor to clients and project stakeholders, providing clear, data-driven commercial guidance.

Essential Skills

At least 5 years of experience in cost management, estimating, quantity surveying, or construction commercial management.
