• Coordinate internal stakeholders and external contractors to ensure smooth project delivery.
• Contribute to structured reporting, governance, and commercial oversight, working closely with key Breight stakeholders.
• Support continuous improvement of project systems, processes, and frameworks.
• Mentor and guide project teams, developing capability and accountability.

• Proven experience as a Senior Project Engineer on multi-discipline projects in the construction or mining industry.
