In this role, you will help organisations successfully navigate uncertainty and improve the delivery of major infrastructure programmes. Through effective risk identification, assessment, and management, you will provide valuable insight that supports informed decision-making and strengthens project performance. By collaborating with programme teams, project controls specialists, and clients, you will help ensure that risks and opportunities are understood, monitored, and managed proactively throughout the project lifecycle.

- Experience in risk management, project controls, PMO, programme delivery, or a related field
- Strong communication, stakeholder engagement, and facilitation skills
