• Manage the construction execution strategy, including contractor and subcontractor performance
• Drive HSE culture and compliance across the project team and site
• Manage client relationships, contract administration, variations and claims
• Lead and mentor site and project support teams

• Ensure quality assurance and compliance with relevant standards and regulatory requirements
