• Strong Microsoft Excel and Power BI skills, including data visualisation and reporting automation.
• The ability to interpret complex data and communicate key insights clearly to a range of stakeholders.
• Excellent written communication and presentation skills.
• Experience working within integrated delivery environments alongside multiple contractors and stakeholders.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Experience influencing senior stakeholders and driving continuous improvement.
• The resilience and adaptability to thrive in a fast-paced, changing and high-pressure environment.
