• Ensure transparent, accurate, and timely cost reporting at both project and organizational levels.  

• Drive and standardize global Value Engineering activities, including reporting on value creation and savings.

Play your part in our team succeeding 

You will lead a distributed team of Commercial Managers, operating across regions and time zones. This is a highly collaborative role, requiring strong leadership, partner management, and cultural awareness.

• Strong proficiency with industry-standard tools such as MS Project, BIM, and cost management platforms, applied to enable transparency, predictability, and informed decision-making.  

• A balanced, director-level mindset—combining analytical rigor with sound commercial judgment—to challenge assumptions, manage risk, and influence senior leaders with confidence and credibility.  

• A global outlook and hands-on engagement style, with the flexibility to travel internationally (approximately 45 days per year) to support key programs, governance forums, and team development.
