- Coordinate drafting, procurement, the workshop and site delivery, and manage variations and client communication along the way
- Match each opportunity to Frontline's capabilities, workshop capacity and commercial requirements




- Work closely with management, engineering, drafting and the workshop team to develop practical, competitive proposals
