• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the confidence to challenge and influence senior stakeholders.
• Experience working within a regulated environment (energy, utilities, critical infrastructure or similar highly desirable).
• Comfortable maintaining project artefacts, risks, plans and reporting (MS Project and SharePoint preferred).
• An inquisitive, delivery-focused mindset with the ability to tease out the detail needed without becoming lost in technical complexity.
