Key responsibilities will include developing project plans, budgets, procurement strategies, risk registers and delivery schedules; monitoring progress and implementing corrective action where required; and managing contracts, change control, variations and commercial performance. You will oversee design development, construction and commissioning activities, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, technical standards, environmental requirements and health and safety procedures. The role will also involve preparing reports for senior stakeholders, facilitating project meetings, resolving issues, supporting forecasting and maintaining accurate project documentation.
