- Delivery Integration: Lead and integrate operations, design, plant, procurement and commercial functions for D‑Wall and soil‑mixing works, setting clear standards, governance and performance expectations.
- Leadership Culture: Set the vision, behaviours and leadership standards for the team; develop capability and succession; manage formal people processes where required; act as a senior client and alliance interface.
- Safety Quality: Champion a Zero Harm culture, sponsor significant investigations, assure learning and corrective action closure, and define safety and quality strategies, KPIs and assurance regimes.
- Programme, Productivity Commercial: Own the master programme, productivity targets and commercial strategy; control critical path and float; lead forecasting, CVR, compensation events and negotiations; resolve disputes and drive value.
- Contractual Alliance: Provide contractual leadership under NEC4 Option C, chair risk‑reduction meetings, manage change and claims, interface with the Alliance Board/Core Group, and ensure obligations are flowed down.

- Senior project or construction leadership experience (typically 8+ years) within major construction or infrastructure environments
