Key Responsibilities
1. Project Management
- Own end-to-end delivery of multiple simultaneous projects across departments — from scoping to completion
- Build and manage project trackers (Excel, MS Project, or similar) with full visibility on milestones, blockers, and risks
- Drive accountability across cross-functional and site teams without requiring escalation or hand-holding
- Proactively identify and resolve blockers before they become problems
- Develop standardised project management frameworks and templates for consistent delivery
2. Operations & Standards
- Oversee daily operational workflows across project sites, ensuring processes are efficient, documented, and consistently followed
- Design and implement Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), internal tools, and quality assurance checkpoints
- Enforce compliance with SOPs and quality standards during site visits and inspections
- Manage vendor and third-party relationships, ensuring deliverables and SLAs are met
- Monitor operational KPIs and produce dashboards and reports for leadership review
3. Tools, Data & Systems
- Build and maintain project and operational systems using Excel, MS Project, Canva, and equivalent platforms
- Produce polished visual materials (decks, trackers, dashboards) that communicate clearly to senior stakeholders and clients
- Analyse data to surface insights, identify inefficiencies, and support evidence-based decisions
- Rapidly learn and adopt new tools and platforms as business needs evolve
Requirements
- 4–7 years' experience in project management, operations, or a related delivery role (facilities management, construction, engineering, or infrastructure sectors preferred)
- Strong working knowledge of Excel and MS Project (or similar scheduling tools); proficiency in Canva for stakeholder-ready visuals
- Demonstrated ability to develop and enforce SOPs and quality standards, ideally in a multi-site or field operations environment
