• Maintain project risk registers, issue logs, decision trackers, action plans, and mitigation measures.
• Support tender evaluations, consultant and contractor appointments, variation reviews, claims assessments, and project close-out.
• Ensure projects are delivered in line with approved product positioning, financial objectives, delivery timelines, and quality standards.
• Identify operational gaps and implement practical improvements to strengthen accountability, reporting quality, and delivery performance.

• Proficiency in Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project, advanced Excel, PowerPoint, and reporting/dashboard tools.
• Strong commercial awareness, including budget monitoring, cash-flow tracking, cost forecasting, and variation control.
• Experience establishing or working within PMO governance frameworks, including project controls, reporting standards, risk registers, issue logs, action trackers, and stage-gate processes.
• Experience in project scheduling, critical-path analysis, recovery planning, progress measurement, and executive reporting.
• Experience with tender evaluation, procurement planning, variation assessment, and contractor performance monitoring.
