About the job Be part of a once-in-a-generation project that’s shaping the future of insulin. Sanofi is building a cutting-edge, fully automated insulin drug substance facility in Frankfurt – a bold investment that builds on our legacy of excellence in insulin manufacturing. This sustainable, next-gen biologics site will support the entire portfolio of insulins, from development to delivery. Join us at the forefront of this global transformation. As part of a cross-functional program team, you’ll help bring this facility to life – from early design and construction through to readiness for commercial manufacturing. Your work will help turn the miracles of science into reality for millions living with diabetes. Main responsibilities Act as the owner's commercial and contractual authority across the construction lifecycle, providing governance and assurance over the contract management performed by our EPCM partner. Build and sustain a strong, constructive partnership with the EPCM — challenging and validating their commercial positions, decisions, and reporting rather than duplicating their work. Work closely with the owner's-side quantity surveyors on measurement, valuation, cost checking, and the independent assessment of contractor applications and claims. Oversee change and claims management: review and test variations, change orders, and contractor claims to protect Sanofi's position, and support negotiation and settlement. Ensure commitments, change orders, and payment milestones flow correctly from the contracts into the project cost forecast and change register, in step with project controls. Provide owner assurance over contractor performance, obligations, notices, warranties, securities, and insurances, through to clean contract close-out. Identify and mitigate commercial and contractual risk to the owner, escalating early where exposure warrants.

Languages : Fluency in German and English (project language); additional languages welcome Pursue progress , discover extraordinary Better is out there. Better medications, better outcomes, better science. But progress doesn’t happen without people – people from different backgrounds, in different locations, doing different roles, all united by one thing: a desire to make miracles happen. So, let’s be those people. At Sanofi, we provide equal opportunities to all regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, ability or gender identity.
