Key responsibilities will include developing project execution plans, programmes, budgets, risk registers, and procurement strategies; coordinating design, construction, commissioning, and handover activities; and managing contractors, consultants, suppliers, and internal stakeholders. You will monitor progress and performance, identify and resolve issues, manage changes and commercial risks, and provide accurate reporting to senior management and clients.
