Ensure proper maintenance of all contractual documentation and prepare the Contract Dept. Monthly Report.
Analyze deviations identified by other company functions (planning, cost control, AFC, etc.), evaluating causes and effects to determine the existence of claims (variations, reservations) against the client or subcontractors.
In collaboration with other functions and the Project Manager, identify and prepare requests for contract term extensions and extra cost recognition (claim management), engaging external consultants as needed, and participating in discussions with the client.
Coordinate dispute management according to contractual escalation levels (negotiation, ADR, arbitration, or ordinary court), supporting involved company functions and external consultants (lawyers, experts, insurers, etc.).
