- Commercial Leadership: Develop and execute contracting strategies that optimize value, mitigate risk, and support day-to-day project delivery objectives.
- Risk & Claims Management: Anticipate and manage contractual risks; implement robust claims prevention programs and lead equitable resolution strategies.
- Client Advocacy: Represent both client’s and Fluor’s interests in all contractual matters, ensuring adherence to prime contract obligations and safeguarding commercial outcomes.
- Negotiation & Formation: Direct negotiations of complex terms and conditions; prepare flow-down provisions; draft special terms and secure legal approvals.

- Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with project management, legal, engineering, construction, project controls, procurement, and finance teams to ensure seamless execution.
