Working closely with the Group leaders, GM Operations, Head of PMO and site leadership, you'll partner across Safety, Operations, Supply Chain & Planning, Quality, Engineering, Finance, People and Commercial teams to establish robust governance, manage complex interdependencies and deliver on business continuity, customer service, safety, quality, cost and timing outcomes.

- Identify and manage operational, customer, safety, quality, supply, people, financial and reputational risks, with robust contingency planning
- Build and manage project budgets, forecasts, cash flow and benefits tracking, while proactively addressing cost variances




- Provide clear, evidence-based reporting to governance forums and the Executive Leadership Team
- Build trusted relationships across other sites, influencing senior leaders and technical specialists without relying on direct authority
