  * Drive best practice in quality, sustainability, health & safety, and compliance.

  * Provide leadership, guidance and direction to internal project teams and site management.

  * Ensure continuous alignment between project progress and business objectives.

About You

We are seeking someone who brings:

  * Excellent commercial awareness with the ability to manage budgets, phasing strategies and programme risks.

  * The confidence to lead diverse teams and influence decision-making at all levels.

  * Strong design and technical coordination experience.

  * The ability to operate strategically while maintaining hands-on visibility across site progress.

Why This Role?
