• Assist with the development and implementation of commercial strategies that protect project performance and support successful customer outcomes.
• Build effective working relationships with customers, project partners and internal stakeholders.
• Collaborate with Legal, Supply Chain, Finance, Project Controls and other functions to resolve commercial matters and support project delivery.
• Support project reviews, audits and governance activities in accordance with the Worley Management System and Commercial Management Framework.

What you’ll bring

• Relevant experience in commercial management, contract administration or a related project commercial role.
• Knowledge of prime contracts and the commercial risks associated with engineering and construction projects.
• An understanding of project and business financial reporting, project cost structures, gross margin, profitability and cash-flow management.
• Experience working with commercial models such as reimbursable rates and at-cost arrangements.
• Knowledge of commercial and contract risk management, including contingency assessment and drawdown.
• An understanding of project change management processes and the importance of contractual obligations, notifications and time bars.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare commercial summaries, contractual correspondence and written responses.
• The ability to communicate project and business commercial strategies clearly to a range of stakeholders.
• A strong commitment to health, safety and responsible project delivery.

Why join us?
