• Strategic Leadership: Be the focal point for technical function across all projects and regions.
• Risk Management: Develop and implement risk management strategies to mitigate technical-related risks and ensure compliance with industry standards.
• Performance Metrics: Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the effectiveness of technical activities and drive continuous improvement.
• Market Intelligence: Secure and report on market intelligence and provide strategic guidance on technology developments and new trends.
• Industry stakeholder management: Cultivate relationships and engage with senior stakeholders from key suppliers: Identify opportunities and mitigate risks through strong supplier relationships.
