• Maintain project programmes, key milestones and governance dates.
• Monitor risks, opportunities, assumptions and dependencies.
• Support option development, value engineering and supply chain engagement activities.

Governance & Reporting

• Prepare information required for governance reviews and adjudications.
• Coordinate reviews, workshops and project meetings.
• Produce high‑quality reports, dashboards and presentations for senior management and clients.

• Proven ability to manage multiple bids, projects or opportunities concurrently.
