  • The ability to cut through complexity, enforce cost discipline, and sustain margins.
  • Experience leading technically capable teams and influencing large workforces.
  • Authority in government, community, and industrial relations engagement.
  • Advanced commercial and financial acumen with strong modelling and forecasting expertise.

Why This Opportunity Matters
