This is a hands-on role for an experienced project professional who enjoys working closely with project teams, solving delivery challenges, and driving execution.

You will partner closely with Project Delivery Directors and project teams on a day-to-day basis, helping to improve delivery performance and outcomes.

You will have visibility across a portfolio of complex, high-value projects while playing an active role in helping teams navigate challenges and achieve successful results.

Drive consistency in project controls, reporting, planning, and governance across the project portfolio.

Support and challenge project planning and schedules, helping teams identify critical milestones, dependencies, risks, and potential delivery impacts.

Contribute to the continuous improvement of PMO processes, methodologies, and ways of working.

Provide constructive challenge to strengthen project planning, execution, decision-making, and delivery outcomes.

Your profile: Several years of experience in project management, project controls, PMO, project services, or project delivery roles within large-scale construction, infrastructure, industrial, data center, energy, pharmaceutical, or similar capital project environments.

Strong understanding of how large capital projects are planned, governed, scheduled, and delivered, including familiarity with construction scheduling principles such as critical path, milestones, dependencies, and schedule risk.

Experience working closely with both project delivery teams and senior business stakeholders.

Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical project topics into clear business language.

Proven ability to influence stakeholders, build credibility, and drive alignment across different functions.

Experience developing presentations, governance materials, business cases, reports, and executive-level communications.

Ability to quickly understand complex project situations and identify key risks, opportunities, and priorities.
