  • Understand project and contractual requirements in depth.
  • Lead bid management, from concept to contract award, preparing proposals and cost estimates within set timelines.
  • Define, execute, and monitor project plans, ensuring milestones, work packages, and budgets align with contractual and delivery requirements.
  • Develop and maintain project plans and Statements of Work (SOWs) by collaborating with specialist teams across the organisation.
  • Manage risks, issues, and opportunities through accurate and up-to-date logs throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Effectively manage stakeholders, particularly external customers, and build strong customer relationships by providing clear, consistent communication and ensuring customer satisfaction.
  • Identify follow-on business opportunities in collaboration with the business development team.
  • Develop performance dashboards to track project progress, identify root causes of issues, and drive improvements across the project lifecycle.
  • Regularly report on project status and performance in line with management reporting cycles, maintaining high levels of data accuracy across project plans, risk registers, and financial systems.
  • Lead and participate in project meetings, reviews, and stakeholder communications, ensuring clarity and precision in all communications.
  • Adhere to the company’s Health & Safety policies and standards.


Qualifications/Skills Required:

  • Bachelor’s degree in business, management, or a related field.
