Highlights:Program/project Contract manager with more than 23 years proven project/program manager experience and track record of establishing and managing projects. Contract, project and program management experience within large organizations (private and public sectors), including lead roles as either senior contract manager, program manager or lead project manager. Manage claims, variations and cost escalation/inflations, etc. effectively. Manage project costs aggressively by ensuring a minimum deviation from the scope. Maintain a cost database for each project, liaise weekly and monthly with the cost and quantity engineers as well as the project cost personnel to keep the project in line with the budget. Ensure that financial guidelines, practices and procedures are strictly adhered to through regular meeting and issuing reminders of policies, procedures and guidelines. Depending on the requirements and complexities of the project, I identify and manage several contract forms/types (FIDIC, NEC, JBCC, GCC). With respect to FIDIC, I manage all the various FIDIC condition of contract variation procedures and its 20 clauses. Taking cognizance of the fact that Claims is the anticipated contract price and different from variation, it is therefore important to have an effective and continuous claims management system in place to identify, initiate prepare, submit and negotiate claims. Negotiate, interpret and manage professional and service contracts, as well as service level agreements. Efficiently manage diverse engineering and design consultants, contractors, third party service providers and suppliers. Managed various engineering and design consulting firms as well as in-house engineering/ design teams including quality and safety consultants. Build, manage and control vendor relationship, inventory and supplies. Manage the preparation of tender documentation, negotiations, evaluation and selection of vendors, contractors and 3rd party suppliers as well as the output/services of the selected service provider to ensure compliance with the clients scope/quality/safety etc. requirements.
