Key responsibilities will include defining project scope, programmes, budgets, and resource requirements; coordinating design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover activities; and managing relationships with clients, consultants, contractors, suppliers, regulators, and other stakeholders. You will monitor progress, costs, risks, quality, and performance, taking prompt corrective action where required. The role will also involve reviewing technical documentation, managing change control and commercial matters, maintaining accurate project records, and providing clear progress reports to senior management and project stakeholders.

Excellent leadership, communication, negotiation, organisation, and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively with multidisciplinary teams. Experience with industry-standard project controls and reporting systems will be advantageous.
