• Preserve the company’s entitlements through effective change management, claims strategy, and dispute resolution processes.
• Draft, manage, and respond to contractual notifications, clarifications, and correspondence.
• Provide guidance on contract risk, bid clarifications, and commercial terms during tenders.
• Ensure all subcontracts are well-drafted, aligned with the main contract, and protect project and company interests.
• Work closely with legal, planning, engineering, and commercial teams to manage contract milestones and risks.
• Support preparation for and participation in mediation, arbitration, and formal disputes.
