Leveraging your expertise in consultancy, engineering construction contracts, programme and change management, you will support and empower Project Managers (PMs) in all commercial aspects — mitigating risk, managing change, minimising margin loss, and fostering commercial excellence to strengthen project performance and client satisfaction.
