• 25% governance and reporting - improving systems, processes, project controls and data quality.

• 15% consultant and advisor management - tracking costs, commitments, deliverables and performance.

• 10% procurement and administration - overseeing purchase-to-pay workflows, contract registers and approvals.

You'll also lead the Project Administration function and support projects through development and construction.
