Commercial assurance manager

Power International Holding is looking for an experienced Commercial Assurance Manager to strengthen commercial governance, protect revenue, and improve cash performance across its group-wide portfolio, with a particular focus on major construction and infrastructure projects.

This is a hands‑on role for a commercially astute professional who can independently validate project figures, identify revenue leakage, challenge reported performance, and turn commercial risks into actionable insights.

Key Responsibilities Validate project cash flow, work in progress (WIP), certification, and collections against source documents. Identify uncertified earned value, revenue leakage, unapproved variations, and contractual exposure. Review claims, extensions of time (EOTs), and variations for entitlement, quantum, supporting evidence, and contractual compliance. Monitor contractual notices and time‑bar deadlines to protect the group’s commercial rights. Reconcile cost, value, and WIP across finance and commercial records, investigating and explaining discrepancies. Assess receivables ageing and distinguish between certification backlogs, client disputes, and payment delays. Challenge entity commercial teams and managing contractors using evidence‑based analysis. Deliver reliable commercial reporting, early warnings, and cash exposure updates to senior leadership. Collaborate with Delivery Assurance to connect project delays with their commercial and financial implications. Requirements 10+ years of experience in construction commercial management, contracts, or quantity surveying, with direct ownership of project commercial figures. Strong expertise in IPC certification cycles, BOQ structures, cost‑value reconciliation, claims, variations, and collections. Working knowledge of FIDIC‑style contracts and GCOC, including contractual notices, disputes, and time‑bar provisions. Understanding of CPI and EAC from a contractor’s perspective, with the ability to assess credible project recovery plans. Proven track record of improving WIP, collections, cash flow, or claim outcomes on live projects or across a portfolio. Ability to demonstrate measurable commercial achievements, including specific recovery or claim outcomes personally delivered. Experience working across multiple currencies and jurisdictions; Gulf or wider MENA experience is preferred. MRICS or an equivalent professional membership is an advantage.

Demonstrated practical use of AI as a core working tool is mandatory. Candidates must be able to provide specific examples of how they have used AI in their own work to:

Identify cash flow anomalies or reconcile commercial and financial data. Accelerate claims and variation reviews or identify contractual risks. Analyse contracts, notices, and correspondence to establish chronologies and flag time‑bar risks. Support the development of AI‑assisted commercial tools in collaboration with technical colleagues. #J-18808-Ljbffr
