Reporting to senior management, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across all aspects of this transformative project. Key responsibilities include developing comprehensive project management systems using Microsoft Project, managing budgets and financial reporting, overseeing the technical and logistical aspects of the ship's relocation, acting as liaison with funding bodies and coordinating with contractors, stakeholders, and external partners.
