Provide tactical input into bids and tenders by assessing methodology, resource plans, and constraints early in the project lifecycle.
Engage regularly with regional stakeholders to offer project support, technical insight, and process guidance across a portfolio of dynamic, high-revenue sites.
Navigate and influence within a matrix-style environment, bringing cross-functional teams together to deliver cohesive outcomes.
