Job description

FIDIC Contract Manager – Red Book (Claims & Project Commercial Control)

Are you a Contract Manager who truly understands the FIDIC 2017 Red Book, not just in theory, but in daily project reality?


If you can manage claims, safeguard entitlement, support project teams on the ground and keep commercial risk under control, this is the environment where your expertise actually matters.

A leading EPC contractor operating across Ghana is seeking an experienced Contract Manager to join their project team on a rotation basis. This role is ideal for a candidate who thrives in complex, high-accountability Africa projects where structure, discipline and accurate contract administration directly influence project success.


Why This Role Matters

This is not a paper-pushing contracts role.
You will be the person who keeps the project contractually safe — documenting daily events, managing claims timelines, administering the Red Book requirements and ensuring the project team maintains commercial alignment with the contract.

Your work will directly impact:

  • Cash flow
  • Client relationships
  • Claims outcomes
  • Project reporting
  • Operational continuity

This role suits someone who has stood on a project site, understands the pressures on Construction Managers and QS teams, and can translate those realities into contractually compliant documentation and claims.


Key Responsibilities

  • Contract administration in line with FIDIC 2017 Red Book
  • Management and recording of claims, variations and notices
  • Development of monthly systems to support invoicing
  • Daily diary management and meeting administration
  • Close collaboration with Senior QS and Construction Manager
  • Daily reporting to the Project Manager
  • Weekly technical reporting to the Project Director
  • Supporting site teams with contract clarity, documentation and commercial compliance
  • General project administration aligned to EPC project controls


Role Structure

  • Rotation: 8 weeks on / 3 weeks off
  • Location: West Africa (project site-based)
  • Employment: Contract-based expat assignment
  • Salary: USD 9 000 – 11 000 per month (plus expat benefits)
  • Benefits: Accommodation, transport/driver, mobile phone, workstation, flights, and reimbursed project-related expenses


What You Need to Bring

  • Proven experience working under the FIDIC Red Book (2017 preferred)
  • Strong claims understanding and the ability to protect contractual entitlement
  • Experience working in EPC, mining, SMPP or heavy industrial projects
  • Ability to work in remote Africa environments
  • Excellent communication, reporting and documentation discipline
  • Commercial awareness and the ability to work closely with QS and site leadership
  • South African nationality preferred (expat rotation requirements)



Why This Is a Rare Opportunity

Professionals with true FIDIC 2017 Red Book experience are scarce across Southern Africa.

This project requires someone who can step in with confidence, structure and an understanding of how site events translate into commercial exposure.

If you're a Contract Manager who wants to work where your expertise genuinely influences project outcomes, this environment will value you.
