capacity increases, and expansion initiatives.
- Develop project scopes, budgets, schedules, technical specifications, and execution plans.
- Coordinate engineering, procurement, construction, installation, commissioning, and handover activities.
- Ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the required technical standards.

Sustainability & Water Reduction Roadmap

- Support the development of a site-level sustainability and water reduction strategy.
- Identify and prioritize opportunities to reduce freshwater use, wastewater generation, and overall water footprint.
- Establish measurable improvement targets and track project outcomes.
- Contribute to longer-term water resilience and circular‑water initiatives.

Project Delivery & Site Execution

The successful candidate will be expected to be highly visible and hands‑on at the manufacturing site, including:

- Managing projects from concept and feasibility through to commissioning and operational handover.
- Coordinating contractors, suppliers, consultants, and internal stakeholders.
- Managing site works within a live manufacturing environment.
- Ensuring appropriate safety, quality, environmental, and change‑control processes are followed.
- Troubleshooting technical issues during installation, commissioning, and operation.
- Providing clear project reporting, risk management, and progress updates to stakeholders.
