• Managing scope, risks, procurement and subcontractor relationships to ensure seamless delivery.
• Supporting continuous improvement by identifying and implementing innovative solutions to enhance project outcomes.
• Mentoring and supporting team members, fostering a collaborative and high-performance culture.

You're a proactive, technically strong professional with a passion for delivering safe, efficient, and high-quality project outcomes. You enjoy working across multiple disciplines, building strong relationships, and challenging traditional approaches to achieve better results.

To be successful, you'll bring:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related discipline).
• Ideally a minimum of 15 years' experience managing industrial or manufacturing projects.
• Demonstrated commitment to HSE excellence in a project environment.
• Proven success in managing multi-discipline engineering, procurement, and construction activities.

• Excellent communication and leadership skills — with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
• High customer focus and commitment to delivering value and service excellence.
• Experience with SAP, Microsoft Project, and the MS Office Suite

You'll be motivated by the opportunity to take ownership of complex projects, mentor others, and continuously look for ways to improve processes, performance, and outcomes across the business.
