What we're looking for:
- Previous experience leading large and complex quality functions in long term industrial engineering projects.
- Strong operational leadership capabilities.
- Excellent stakeholder management, in particular coordinating with stakeholders across various functions, both internal and external to the alliance.
- Confidence in escalating issues and driving operational accountability.
- Prior experience in Nuclear would be very advantageous due to the stage of the project we are in.
- Calm, structured and delivery-focused leadership style.
Benefits:
- We are able to offer a competitive salary with generous uplift and allowances for working away from home where required.
