• Lead and align multidisciplinary teams across engineering, procurement, construction, operations, contractors, and consultants.
• Manage EPC/EPCM contractors, supplier relationships, contracts, and project performance.
• Operate within a structured governance framework, providing regular reporting to senior leadership and supporting key investment decisions.
• Champion a strong safety culture and ensure compliance with regulatory, environmental, and corporate requirements.
• Supervise members of the owner's project team assigned to the project.

Requirements
