- Provide leadership and direction to the projects team, helping prioritise workload and deliver results.
What we’re looking for:
You'll be a highly organised and commercially minded project professional with a track record of delivering multiple complex projects in challenging operational environments.
We're particularly interested in candidates who bring:
- A recognised Project Management qualification.
- 6+ years' project management experience.
- Proven success managing multiple complex projects at the same time.
