What’s the Claim Manager’s role in this? Our offerings are not only technically complex. They also require challenging contractual and commercial structures and bring with them multiple interfaces between technical, commercial, and legal matters – requiring significant claims management talent to manage all sorts of claims between different project parties – always with the objective to meet customer requirements and deliver in time and in budget. Super-interesting and never boring!
