  • Drive adoption of best-in-class construction practices, including Advanced Work Packaging (AWP), planning methodologies, execution control and performance management.
  • Develop high-performing teams and leaders, building sustainable organizational capability.
  • Own the onshore construction job family, including performance management and career and skill development, building high-performing teams and developing future leaders across the discipline.
  • Ensure disciplined management of execution risks and deliver predictable project outcomes at scale.
