• Lead risk management and ensure milestones are achieved in complex programmes of work.
  

   

• Provide technical guidance to stakeholders, protecting the existing infrastructure while enabling new build integration.
  

   

• Liaise regularly with client stakeholders, ensuring transparent communication and smooth project delivery.
