  • Drive collaboration across engineering, training, and technical documentation teams.
  • Track performance and risk, ensuring projects stay on time and within scope.
  • Champion continuous improvement, optimising tools, processes, and supportability strategies.

Essential skills and knowledge

  • At least 7 years' experience in logistics or reliability engineering in complex project environments.
  • Proven team leadership experience, with strong people management skills.
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication capabilities.
