Support quotations, tenders, and major account proposals with operational input.
Ensure additional works, waiting time, changes, delays, and variations are captured and charged where appropriate.

Work with senior management to support growth, account retention, and overall business performance.

Leadership & Team Development

Lead, motivate, and develop delivery, operations, and project teams.
Set clear standards for performance, conduct, safety, communication, and customer service.
Support recruitment, training, onboarding, and performance management.
