  • Promote a strong safety culture across all project teams.
  • Take responsibility for project financial performance in line with approved pre-construction cost models.
  • Manage variations, compensation events and commercial negotiations.
  • Work closely with commercial teams to protect margin and manage change control.
  • Maintain and manage the project programme developed during pre-construction.
  • Actively manage risks transferred from pre-construction and identify delivery-phase risks.
