1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am currently working in the commercial team and my general responsibility is reporting on the contract’s performance. As a PFI this involves measuring risk through a payment mechanism and resolving disputes with the Client upon mitigating circumstances. I also ensure we meet all the deadline for the deliverables of the contract. I then advise on areas of improvement based on our findings and laisse with other departments to prevent further failure events and improve the performance of the contact.
