You will have significant experience in the delivery of high value, highly complex EPC or EPCM projects in hazardous environments where a high degree of regulation is in place. With well developed stakeholder management skills you will have the ability to engage, influence and advise at board level of a leading blue chip business. Your ability to form and maximise effective business relationships will be central to your success and will be a key measurement of progress in this role. Able to identify areas of risk on projects you will be able to implement solutions quickly. As a natural and resourceful problem solver you will be able to bring incisive analysis and lateral thinking to ensure innovative solutions are always delivered. As a strong and confident leader you will be comfortable as the focal point on highly visible and technically demanding projects. You will be highly organised, a natural motivator and be able to bring a high degree of personal energy and enthusiasm to the projects you are responsible for.
