Ensure responses to customer questions/queries are timely and appropriate during/after tender process. Ensure proper handover information is generated for project teams, including relevant documentation. Lead, coach, and develop individuals to build high-performing teams and create a pipeline of talent. Maintain a relentless focus on Zero Harm.
