• forecasting, variations, and cost control
• Leading site teams and supporting supervisors
• Client, consultant, and stakeholder liaison
• Ensuring health & safety, quality, and environmental compliance
• Driving practical problem-solving and continuous improvement

• Strong background in water, wastewater, or pipeline works (preferred) but not critical.

• Clear communicator who earns respect on site and in meetings
• Organised, decisive, and comfortable owning outcomes

• Strong site leadership and capable delivery teams
