Demonstrated experience managing contractors, service providers or consultants, including monitoring performance, resolving issues and supporting delivery outcomes.
Strong planning, communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to balance competing priorities and support the delivery of compliance, remediation and improvement projects.
