The Primary goal is to ensure projects are completed on time, on budget, and to the highest standards of safety and quality. A key focus is hitting commercial milestones at the right stage-gates to trigger timely invoicing and protect revenue and cash flow.

Key Responsibilities:
1. Project Delivery:
Lead multiple, concurrent projects from planning through to completion.

Ensuring commercial milestones are met and invoicing is initiated promptly is critical to business success.

Help shape and evolve project delivery systems (e.g. SimPro). Identify efficiencies, champion structured project management approaches, and support ongoing improvements.
The Candidate:

5. Strong Health & Safety knowledge in field-based or construction environments
6. Solid understanding of project management methodologies and tools
