What you'll do

• 
  

  Own project cost management from award through closeout: budgets, procurement, contracts, forecasting, and overall cost control.

  
  


• 
  

  Manage contracts and procurement end to end — prepare subcontractor bid packages, run the bid process, level proposals, and lead commercial negotiations through award.

  
  


• 
  

  Verify that what's being billed actually matches completed work, cross-checking RFIs, submittals, and % complete before you approve anything.

  
  


• 
  

  Apply retention deductions and enforce conditions of contract on every application, with no exceptions.

  
  


• 
  

  Manage variations and change orders: validate entitlement, price them, and keep the contract value current at all times.

  
  


• 
  

  Produce monthly budget vs. expenditure vs. forecast reporting, so the team always knows whether the job is trending on budget through completion.

  
  


• 
  

  Build estimates and cost plans where they're needed to support commercial decisions — as a tool for cost control, not as the core of the job.

  
  


• 
  

  Coordinate with contractors, architects, and the project team to resolve commercial issues before they turn into claims.

  
  

What you must have

• 
  

  Solid construction background with a focus on contracts and commercial administration. Not accounting. Not pure estimating.

  
  


• 
  

  Demonstrable experience on Hospitality (Hotels) projects. 

  
  


• 
  

  Hands-on command of concrete, wood framing, and steel framing scopes — enough to challenge quantities, methods, and pricing with confidence.

  
  


• 
  

  Proven comfort reviewing large-value payment applications and contract terms: retention, conditions of contract, and change provisions.

  
  


• 
  

  Proficiency with Procore. This one is non-negotiable.

  
  


• 
  

  Excellent ability to interpret architectural, structural, and construction drawings, specifications, and contract documents quickly and accurately.

  
  


• 
  

  Excellent communication skills and the confidence to push back on a contractor, hold your position, and keep the relationship intact.

  
  


• 
  

  Strong character and resilience: the ability to tolerate pressure, shifting priorities, and uncertainty, and to keep delivering accurate work under all of it.

  
  


• 
  

  English required.

  
  


• 
  

  Reliable availability, a consistent work schedule, and genuine interest in long-term professional growth.

  
  

A great plus

• 
  

  Experience working directly with U.S. or Caribbean developers, contractors, and architectural firms.

  
  


• 
  

  Knowledge of Bahamas or Caribbean construction realities: import logistics, lead times, and local labor conditions.

  
  


• 
  

  Experience handling claims, delay analysis, or dispute resolution.

  
  


• 
  

  A track record of building or improving commercial and cost-control processes from scratch.
