• Drive safe delivery of the package, applying risk management and continuous improvement practices

• Track progress against milestones, schedules and budgets, escalating issues and resolving risks proactively

• Ensure Level 3 schedules are aligned with programme milestones and escalate discrepancies where required

• Oversee contractual delivery, ensuring List of Deliverables (LOD) are met and contractual requirements fulfilled

• Manage subcontractors, consultants and suppliers to deliver work to time and quality standards

• Apply commercial management, including contractor applications for payment, claims resolution and change control

• Capture lessons learned and embed knowledge sharing across the project

• Support collaborative working across interfacing packages to ensure alignment and best practice adoption

What skills & experience are we looking for?

Essential:

• Proven track record of delivering projects in technically complex and highly regulated environments, ideally nuclear or infrastructure

• Strong project management skills covering engineering, procurement, contract and construction delivery

• Experience managing subcontractors, consultants and suppliers across large construction programmes

• Knowledge of NEC contracts and experience managing cost, risk, schedule, change and claims resolution
