Support procurement and contract management activities
Contribute to business cases, approvals, and governance submissions
Provide high-quality reporting and insights to programme leadership
Ensure compliance with health, safety, environmental, and quality standards

Health, safety, or construction-related training (advantageous)

Skills & Attributes
