As they invest in their operational capability, they're looking for a Technical Project Manager to lead delivery of a growing portfolio of engineering, CAPEX and continuous improvement projects.

- Defining project scope, goals, timelines and deliverables with input from key stakeholders
- Maintaining project plans, risk registers, resource requirements and financial forecasts
- Acting as the primary point of contact for your projects, communicating technical concepts clearly to varied audiences
- Working with engineering teams to shape solutions and ensure relevant standards are met
- Championing technical documentation and driving robust engineering change control
- Bringing agile ways of working into an established stage-gated delivery framework
- Identifying and managing risks and issues before they affect delivery
- Coordinating third-party vendors and suppliers where projects require external input
- Driving continuous improvement in both project outcomes and delivery process
