Contract Administration & Commercial Management

• • • Administer NEC4 commercial obligations on behalf of the Employer, including assessment and certification of payment applications in accordance with the contract.
    • Identify, assess and negotiate compensation events under NEC4 clauses 60–65, ensuring the Employer’s position is robustly protected and events are resolved in a timely manner.
    • Maintain the compensation event register, early warning register and risk register across all active projects, reporting status to the project board regularly.
    • Review and challenge contractor Defined Cost submissions and fee calculations under NEC4 cost-reimbursable options, ensuring value for money and compliance with the Schedule of Cost Components.
    • Manage the financial close-out of contracts, agreeing final accounts with contractors and ensuring all commercial records are complete and auditable.

    • Produce monthly commercial reports covering budget position, committed costs, compensation event exposure, cash flow forecasts and anticipated final cost.
    • Identify commercial risks and opportunities early, escalating material issues to the Head of Commercial or Senior Project Manager as appropriate.
