    Ensure compliance with health, safety, and regulatory standards

  * 

    Manage logistics and sequencing of technical activities to minimise operational disruption

  * 

    Provide clear reporting to senior leadership on progress, risks, and delivery milestones

  * 

    Support knowledge transfer and operational readiness activities

  * 

    Travel occasionally to international locations to align with group stakeholders and technical partners

What We’re Looking For

  * 

    Proven experience delivering complex industrial or manufacturing projects

  * 

    Background in machinery installation, equipment relocation, or operational change programmes highly desirable

  * 

    Strong understanding of manufacturing environments and engineering processes

  * 

    Demonstrable experience managing multi-disciplinary stakeholders

  * 

    Comfortable operating within sensitive or business-critical programmes

  * 

    Structured approach to risk, budget, and timeline control

  * 

    Confident communicator with the ability to influence at senior level

  * 

    Willingness to travel internationally on occasion

Key Attributes

  * 

    Highly organised and delivery-focused

  * 

    Calm under pressure
