• Develop and maintain Project Management Plans (PMPs).
• Create Work Breakdown Structures and detailed project schedules.
• Identify resource, material, equipment and facility requirements.
• Ensure projects are fully costed, resourced and aligned to delivery milestones.

Communication & Reporting

• Provide clear, accurate and timely communication to stakeholders.
• Produce regular project status reports.
• Escalate risks, issues and corrective actions when required.
• Ensure project objectives, responsibilities and priorities are clearly understood across the team.

Risk & Schedule Management

• Ensure project schedules remain current and reflect any changes or risks.
• Forecast resource requirements and support effective planning.

• Ensure projects deliver value while remaining within approved budgets.

Quality Management

• Promote a culture of quality and continuous improvement.
• Identify root causes of quality issues and drive corrective actions.
• Capture lessons learned and implement improvements across future projects.
• Monitor and report the impact of non-quality on project performance.

Conflict Resolution

• Resolve project-related conflicts and challenges.
• Escalate issues appropriately to minimise impact on delivery objectives.

Essential Experience

• Proven experience managing complex projects from initiation through to delivery.
• Strong stakeholder and customer management skills.
• Experience managing project schedules, budgets, resources and risks.
• Excellent communication and reporting abilities.
• Experience working within structured project management environments.
