• Proven experience delivering stringing works on high-voltage transmission line projects in a Supervisor, Team Leader or Superintendent capacity.
• Previous hand-on experience in transmission line stringing activities, ideally on 275kV and above transmission networks.
• Demonstrated ability to lead field crews and subcontractors while managing safety, productivity, quality and delivery outcomes.
