Lead programme governance, including scheduling, risk management, phasing, and interface coordination across multiple concurrent projects.
Administer NEC4 contracts (ECC Options A, C, and D), ensuring robust commercial management and compliance.
Oversee early warnings, compensation events, variations, change control, and cost management processes.
Maintain strict adherence to health, safety, and environmental standards, including RAMS approval, permit-to-work systems, and electrical isolation procedures.

Stakeholder & Regulatory Management

Act as the senior point of contact for internal stakeholders including Operations, Asset Management, Safety, ICT, and Facilities teams.
Lead engagement with external stakeholders such as ESB Networks, planners, consultants, contractors, and regulatory authorities.
Coordinate statutory approvals, grid connections, and ensure full regulatory compliance across all stages of delivery.
