• Identify commercial opportunities and ensure projects remain within agreed budgets.
• Work closely with project managers, construction teams, architects, consultants and clients.
• Assist with estimating, tendering and pre-construction activities.
• Maintain accurate commercial records and reporting throughout the project lifecycle.
