• Oversee and validate construction reporting, dashboards, KPIs, and executive-level updates to support informed client decision-making.
• Ensure consistency of construction delivery approaches across all packages, including logistics strategies, sequencing, and phasing.
• Provide strategic direction on delay mitigation and recovery planning, challenging contractor methodologies where required.
• Champion QA/QC, HSE, and compliance assurance at the program level, ensuring robust and auditable systems.
• Act as a senior escalation point for non-performance, non-conformances, and systemic delivery failures across the program.
• Support procurement and tender evaluation strategies from a constructability, phasing, and delivery risk perspective.
• Contribute to value engineering and buildability optimization, ensuring alignment with cost, schedule, and design intent.

Essential Experience

• Over 10 years of experience in construction management.
• Proven track record in delivering complex theaters and large public venues.
• Experience working in high-profile or government-led development programs is considered an advantage.
