• Prepare advance, interim and final invoices, including contractual attachments and letter-of-credit documentation, and follow up payments to support cash flow.
• Coordinate credit checks, insurance, guarantees, bonds and other financial safeguards, and manage metal hedging and exchange-rate hedging requirements where applicable.
• Raise purchase requisitions, verify supplier invoices and coordinate suppliers, subcontractors, transport, export documentation and site deliveries in line with project plans.
• Support contract reviews, claims and change-order quotations, keeping commercial milestones and contractual requirements on track.
• Apply lessons learned to improve commercial processes and project execution, while demonstrating and promoting safe working behaviours in line with NKT policy.
