Excellent communication skills, with ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Desirable

Experience in project controls environments (cost, risk, commercial integration)

Knowledge of Earned Value Management (EVM)
Experience supporting multi-project or programme environments

Personal Attributes

Highly organised and detail-oriented
Proactive and confident in challenging assumptions
