• Lead incident reporting, investigations and lessons learned activities.
• Support tender submissions, client discussions and project mobilisation activities.
• Monitor operational performance, key risks and resource requirements, reporting directly to senior leadership.
• Support audit readiness and compliance activities across the business.
