They will understand the wider commercial picture, balancing operational delivery, client expectations, programme management, and profitability. This role requires a strategic thinker who can plan ahead, make commercially sound decisions, and drive performance across both projects and people. Strong leadership, clear communication, and the ability to build and develop high-performing teams are essential. Candidates should be highly organised, solutions-focused, commercially aware, and capable of delivering complex projects whilst maintaining quality, compliance, and operational standards throughout.
