International Project Contract Manager

For ease of reading, inclusive language is not used in the body of this advertisement; terms used in the masculine form refer to both women and men.
Eiffage Génie Civil is one of the European leaders in construction, operating across all civil engineering disciplines. From design to construction, as well as maintenance, repair and demolition, our teams deliver major infrastructure projects in France and worldwide.

The Infrastructure Division is present across France (roadworks, civil engineering, metal, rail) and internationally in Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America.

The Marine & Overseas Division specialises in the design and execution of large-scale civil engineering infrastructure, including maritime and port facilities, water and waste treatment plants, and complex international projects.

As part of the continuous development of our international activities, we are actively seeking an International Project Contract Manager to reinforce our teams and support our portfolio of overseas projects.

This is a permanent contract within the Marine & Overseas Division.

YOUR FUTURE ENVIRONMENT
This role is inherently highly mobile and truly international. You will be administratively based in France, but your primary work will involve direct assignment to major international projects across the globe. This means you will be deployed on-site for medium to long-term missions, relocating as project needs dictate – from the vibrant landscapes of Africa to the dynamic environments of Europe or Asia, following the life cycle of our key infrastructure developments.

You will work closely with Project Directors, Project Controls, Finance, and Legal teams on high-impact international projects. You will benefit from the robust support of Eiffage headquarters, while operating directly within multidisciplinary site teams in diverse regions of the world.

This position demands an exceptional capacity to adapt to varied contractual environments, distinct cultures, and different project setups, all while upholding rigorous contract management standards to safeguard Eiffage's interests effectively.

Your Main Responsibilities
As an International Project Contract Manager, you will be a pivotal asset directly embedded within our international projects. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Administering and managing the main contract of the project you are assigned to, ensuring full compliance with obligations, timely notifications, and robust protection of Eiffage's contractual rights.
• Managing consortium or joint-venture agreements, including critical interfaces, responsibilities, deliverables, and governance processes.
• Supervising subcontract agreements: performance monitoring, amendments, claims, contractual compliance, and administrative closure.

Leading and coordinating complex claim processes, including:

• Claims against the client.
• Claims within the consortium.
• Claims raised by subcontractors.
• Preparing comprehensive contractual strategies and advising project leadership on potential risks, contractual obligations, and strategic opportunities.
• Drafting all contractual correspondence (letters, notifications, notes, reports) with precision, in both English and French.
• Supporting commissioning, handover, and close-out phases, ensuring all contractual and documentary requirements are meticulously met.
• Ensuring critical alignment between technical, financial, and legal stakeholders, maintaining coherent project positions throughout the project lifecycle.

What We Are Looking For
Experience: 7–8 years of experience in Contract Management on complex industrial, infrastructure, energy, or civil engineering projects. A proven track record in contract administration and claim management is essential.

Education: Ideally, a background in law (Master's degree or equivalent), but technical profiles with strong contractual skills will also be considered.

International Acumen: Extensive experience working in truly international and multicultural environments, demonstrating strong adaptability and cultural intelligence.

Languages: Excellent written and spoken command of English and French is mandatory.

Key Competencies: Strong autonomy, superior analytical skills, exceptional adaptability, and excellent communication abilities are crucial for this highly mobile role.

Mobility: Unrestricted availability and a profound willingness to travel and relocate internationally for extended, project-based missions are fundamental requirements for this position.

What We Offer
A challenging Permanent Contract (CDI) within Eiffage's dynamic Marine & Overseas Division.

The unique opportunity to lead critical contract management on major, high-impact international projects around the globe, with direct immersion in diverse operational contexts.

A competitive salary package commensurate with your experience and the critical, mobile nature of the role.

Ongoing support from headquarters (Legal, Finance, Project Controls) to empower your success.

Significant career development opportunities within Eiffage's global operations, fostering professional growth and mobility across continents.
