• Senior managerial experience leading large industrial, construction or brownfield redevelopment sites, such as mills, refineries, mines, ports or comparable infrastructure facilities.
• A strong track record in site operations, project integration, contractor management, safety and environmental compliance, including regulatory reporting.
• Proven financial and commercial capability, with experience managing site budgets, procurement, cost control and delivery against complex programmes.
• Demonstrated success leading multidisciplinary teams and managing relationships with regulators, local authorities, contractors and senior executives.
• A decisive, solutions-focused leadership style, strong executive communication skills and the ability to navigate competing priorities in a complex, high-stakes environment.
• Experience in data centres or critical infrastructure is advantageous, as is a willingness to be based in or relocate to Albury.
