We understand how these concepts are brought to life by people living well and working with purpose. Through learning, performing, and connecting. People are at the heart of all we do.

• Set clear goals and objectives for each team member, including personal development objectives.
• Empower managers to reach considered and appropriate decisions.
• Have profit and loss responsibility, working closely with the project QS to meet targets.
• Record and report delays or disruptions and work to resolve issues.
