To be successful you will have:

• strong leadership capability, with the ability to coach and motivate technical teams and achieve a strong performance benchmark
• solid project management expertise across cost, time, quality and risk through the negotiation and tender of contracts
• confidence engaging senior stakeholders, contractors and customers through reporting and education
• tertiary qualifications in engineering and the ability to operate in a safety‑critical environment
• current C-Class Drivers License.
