About you

You are an experienced program or project management professional with a track record of overseeing complex infrastructure, transport or asset-related projects from the client side. You understand how to balance strategic objectives, stakeholder expectations and delivery performance to achieve outcomes in complex and often high-profile environments.

You bring strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships across a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders. Comfortable working in commercially complex environments, you can navigate competing priorities, negotiate outcomes and work effectively with delivery partners to ensure obligations, risks and performance expectations are managed appropriately.

You combine strong commercial acumen with sound financial and project management capability. You understand project forecasting, budget management, governance and contractual frameworks, and can use this knowledge to provide clear advice, identify risks and opportunities, and drive informed decision-making.
