Strategic Workforce Planning: Architect the multi-year headcount strategy, ensuring the right technical expertise is in place for every phase of the project lifecycle (FEED, Execution, and Operations).

Executive Advisory: Act as a trusted coach and advisor to the Project leadership and senior leadership, providing data-driven insights on organizational health and risk.

Talent Acquisition & Mobility: Partner with recruitment to source specialized technical talent and manage the complex logistics of international or domestic mobilizations and relocations.

  • High Stakes Navigation: You are comfortable in the "grey area" of project life and can pivot quickly when project scopes or timelines shift.
  • Data Fluency: You use metrics to tell a story, whether it's predicting attrition risks or measuring the efficiency of a massive hiring surge.
