The seat window

A first-term independent-director position carrying both Audit Committee and Stakeholders Relationship Committee chair responsibilities is expected to enter its filed vacancy window in June 2027.

What makes this chairship distinctive

The business combines manufactured products with project and service obligations. Financial performance therefore depends on more than output: tender assumptions, contract milestones, site readiness, acceptance, retention money, change orders, warranty and collection each influence the quality and timing of earnings. The Audit Committee Chair must be able to test the commercial evidence beneath recognised revenue while also protecting the credibility of disclosure and stakeholder response.

The seat suits someone who understands that project reporting can be technically correct and still hide deteriorating economics. Percentage completion, unbilled revenue, claims, liquidated damages, provisions and expected cost to complete should be reviewed together. A favourable milestone is not sufficient evidence if customer acceptance,



cash or remaining obligations tell a different story.

The oversight terrain

Tender and contract discipline. Material bids should carry documented assumptions about specifications, localisation, supply, taxes, site dependencies, performance guarantees and cash. After award, deviations need a controlled route into forecast, margin and risk. The Board should see which claims are contractually supported, disputed or merely hoped for.

Project accounting and cash. The Chair will challenge cut-off, milestone evidence, estimated cost to complete, retention, mobilisation advances, receivable ageing and impairment. Project-level cash and margin bridges should explain why reported profit has or has not converted to cash.

Procurement and integrity. Vendor onboarding, technical qualification, conflicts, tender confidentiality, price variance, subcontracting and payment controls require risk-led assurance.
