Role Overview:
We are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Compliance Manager to join our commercial team, primarily supporting the cost and contract management of financed infrastructure projects. Although the role title reflects a compliance function, the successful candidate will be working hands-on across quantity surveying, contracts administration, and commercial compliance tasks — with particular emphasis on managing documentation, supporting procurement, and ensuring that vendor engagements align with internal procedures and financing requirements.
This is a dynamic, cross-functional role ideal for someone with a solid QS background who enjoys working within structured, well-documented projects and liaising with multidisciplinary teams.
Key Responsibilities:
* Support the preparation, administration, and management of subcontract agreements, supply orders, and procurement documentation.
* Assist in compiling and verifying cost estimates, BOQs, and supplier quotations, ensuring alignment with project budgets and contract terms.
* Monitor and track project expenditure, variations, and payments in coordination with project and finance teams.
* Prepare and review monthly payment applications, cost reports, and progress claims to ensure accuracy and completeness.
* Support post-contract administration, including change order management, claims assessments, and valuation of works.
* Maintain updated records and documentation aligned with internal controls and lender requirements.
* Coordinate with vendors and suppliers to collect, verify, and archive key compliance documents, such as certificates of origin and service confirmations.
* Ensure vendor and subcontractor documentation meets project and compliance needs, including contract references to UK content and procurement flow-through.
* Liaise with procurement and commercial teams to ensure procedures and forms align with finance partner expectations and audit needs.
Qualifications & Skills:
* Bachelor’s degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline.
* Minimum 4 years of experience in quantity surveying, contracts administration, or cost consultancy.
* Understanding of standard forms of contract (e.g., FIDIC) and post-contract processes.
* Strong organizational and record-keeping abilities with a good eye for detail.
* Clear communication skills and ability to coordinate with both internal stakeholders and external partners.
* Comfortable working in a structured, process-driven environment.
Desirable Attributes:
* Prior exposure to export credit agency (e.g., UKEF) or donor-backed projects.
* Working knowledge of UK procurement or contract compliance requirements.
* Strong MS Excel skills and experience with cost reporting tools or software.
Years of Experience: 5+ years
Employment Type: Full-time
