  • Ensure successful project outcomes post-delivery, monitoring performance of new equipment and processes and identifying improvement opportunities.
  • Plan and control project delivery, building schedules, managing risks and ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards.
  • Contribute to improving project ways of working, applying strong knowledge of the project lifecycle to help raise delivery standards across the business.
