•Lead cash‑flow forecasting, funding drawdown planning, and liquidity management aligned to contribution agreements and internal capital availability.
•Monitor and report financial performance using regular forecasts, earned‑value metrics, and variance analysis (budget, schedule, and risk contingencies).
•Establish and enforce change‑control discipline: evaluate financial impact, mitigate impact of unexpected project variables, approve or reject changes, and protect budget contingencies.
•Review and validate contractor payment applications, cost back‑up, claims, and final accounts on behalf of the owner and communicate those to the project owner's financial representatives as required.
•Liaison Between Owner and Execution Teams
•Translate owner priorities, funding conditions, and governance requirements into clear direction for consultants, project managers, and contractors.
•Act as the escalation point between owner leadership and project execution teams for scope, cost, schedule, and risk issues.
•Independently review and challenge designs, cost plans, schedules, and procurement strategies to ensure value for money and alignment with owner intent.
•Ensure decision‑ready documents are prepared for owner executives, boards, or councils, clearly outlining financial, schedule, and risk implications.
Procurement & Contract Management
•Lead owner‑side procurement strategy, including delivery model selection (DBB, DB, CM) and commercial structure.
•Oversee RFP development, bid evaluation, contract negotiations, and award recommendations.
•Manage contract administration, including claims avoidance, dispute resolution, and execution performance management.
