The candidate will need to be able to identify key risks to programme and delivery, working with internal partner teams and delivery partners to mitigate and develop solutions to ensure on time delivery. The candidate will work across a portfolio of projects, managing complexity, ambiguity and differing timescales, multiple relationships with the ability to manage conflicting priorities should they arise.
The candidate will be pragmatic with a result orientated approach, experienced in developing and delivering pioneering projects, have an analytical skill set, strong financial acumen and a track record of working with utilities, regulators and developers across the energy industry.
