• Ensure safe systems of work are followed throughout delivery.
• Provide accurate project reporting in line with the agreed governance arrangements.

• Strong planning, organisation and project control skills, with confidence managing time, cost, quality and scope.

• Confidence communicating with clients, delivery teams and senior stakeholders.
• Proficiency with project management tools such as Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, ServiceNow Project Module or similar.
• The accountability, resilience and drive to see projects through to successful completion.
