You Will Bring

  • A degree in Project Management, Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related discipline
  • 8–10 years' experience leading complex, multi-million-dollar projects
  • Strong financial and risk management capability
  • Proven ability to influence across technical, governance, and stakeholder groups
