Secure timely decisions, approvals and information flow to keep programme milestones on track.

5. Reporting, Governance, HSE & Improvement

Provide concise monthly reporting on progress, cost-to-complete, key risks/issues and mitigations.
Prepare governance and investor updates that clearly link technical status to commercial outcomes.
Lead a safety-first culture and continuous improvement in delivery practices, compliance and lessons learned.

Technical & Commercial Capability

Strong understanding of EPC contracts, risk allocation, and construction commercial frameworks
Demonstrated ability to manage complex contractor interfaces and delivery risks
Ability to assess technical issues within a broader commercial and investment context

Leadership & Decision Making

Success in this role will be demonstrated through:

Delivery of projects within approved schedule and budget baselines

Clear, high-quality reporting and stakeholder communication
