About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Approve project planning and ensure execution aligns with requirements (scope, schedule, resources, risks, and stakeholder communications).
Lead monthly project health reviews to confirm regulatory compliance, schedule adherence, technical progress, risk management, and subcontractor performance; assign corrective actions and ensure documented closure.
Manage project documentation and traceability: track deliverables, record incoming and outgoing transmittals, and monitor revisions for key documents (plans, analytical data, reports, submissions, meeting minutes, and corrective actions).
Ensure communication plans, reporting requirements, and deadline control mechanisms are defined during project initiation and planning, and actively monitored throughout the project.
Oversee supplier and subcontractor governance, including the use of prequalified vendors, review of work plans and procedures, and validation of verification processes in line with deliverable requirements.
Enforce verification and quality requirements for deliverables prior to external release; ensure technical reviews and management approvals are completed and documented in the project workspace.
Collaborate with the program manager on issues requiring escalation, decision rights, and alignment with program governance and performance indicators.
Promote a culture focused on health and safety, compliance, and continuous improvement, where controls are embedded in processes rather than added retrospectively.
