• Identifying programme risks, delays and opportunities
• Supporting and managing project change
• Undertaking programme analysis and reporting
• Working closely with main contractors, subcontractors and project stakeholders
• Managing multiple project priorities and deadlines
• Providing clear planning insight to support project decision-making
• Working independently while contributing to wider project and consultancy teams
