Key responsibilities include

- Leading and developing a multidisciplinary PMO team, establishing robust governance frameworks, improving systems and processes, and building a high-performance culture.
- Overseeing the successful delivery of major capital projects, ensuring robust commercial performance, contractor management, safety compliance and achievement of cost,



quality and schedule objectives.
- Working collaboratively across commercial, engineering and operational functions to support infrastructure growth, strengthen stakeholder relationships and drive continuous improvement.

About You You will be an accomplished projects leader with demonstrated experience managing a PMO or substantial capital projects function. You will bring strong commercial acumen, strategic thinking and the ability to lead, influence and develop teams through change.

Experience within gas, energy, utilities, oil and gas, major construction or broader infrastructure environments will be highly regarded. Importantly, we are seeking a proven leader who understands project governance, delivers results through others and can build a culture of accountability and delivery excellence.
