Liaise professionally with clients regarding AFPs, purchase orders, timesheets and billing queries, ensuring information is accurate and responses are timely.
Support the administration of new orders by maintaining order registers, chasing documentation and ensuring records are complete and auditable.
Liaise with subcontractors and suppliers to review and process AFPs and invoices while maintaining accurate cost records.
Maintain commercial document control systems, ensuring job files, permissions, version control and supporting records are organised and audit-ready.
Prepare commercial information packs, summaries and supporting evidence to assist with meetings, reviews and negotiations.
Support commercial audits and internal compliance checks by gathering records and maintaining accurate supporting documentation.
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by helping develop and enhance templates, trackers, reporting processes and document control procedures.

‍
