Cost Planning & Estimation:
- Prepare detailed cost estimates and Bills of Quantities (BoQ) for construction projects, including specialized systems common in data centres (e.g. MEPF services and equipment)
- Conduct value engineering exercises to identify cost savings proposals without compromising quality
- Develop multi-scenario forecasts to support client decision-making
- Provide accurate cost advice throughout the design and construction phases
Tendering & Procurement:
- Manage tender processes, including preparation of prequalification, tender lists, tender documents and evaluation of bids
- Negotiate with contractors, subcontractors and suppliers to ensure competitive pricing and value for money
- Advise on procurement strategies to optimize supplier selection and contract terms
Contract Administration:
- Draft and review contracts in line with client standards, FIDIC and JBCC standards
- Oversee post-contract cost control: Interim valuations, progress payments, change orders, and final accounts
- Manage contractual claims (e.g., variations, EOTs) with quantum assessments and entitlement reviews
- Monitor cost variances against baselines, implementing corrective actions to maintain budget adherence
Project Financial Control:
- Produce accurate monthly cost reports with variance analysis, cash flows and risk projections.
- Ensure audit-ready documentation for compliance and client audits
- Reconcile as-built costs against estimates, capturing lessons learned for internal knowledge base
- Forecast and maintain accurate Estimated final costs (EFC’s) for the projects
- Manage internal benchmarking and lesson learnt reports across the various projects
Risk & Value Management:
- Identify potential cost risks and implement mitigation strategies.
- Advise on value engineering opportunities, especially for complex mechanical and electrical systems.
Collaboration & Communication:
- Work closely with the account lead, client, project managers and project team to ensure financial objectives are met
- Management, growth and development of the internal project team
- Identify cross-selling opportunities and contribute to bids for new commissions and continuous appointment
- Drive process improvements to enhance consultancy efficiency (e.g., standardized templates and processes).
- Manage internal project financials, e.g. project and contract setup, forecasting, invoice generation and issuance to clients
