  • Assisting in managing project governance, programme, cost, risk, and change control frameworks
  • Coordinating multidisciplinary teams, ensuring collaboration and clear communication across stakeholders
  • Supporting client engagement—attending meetings, preparing reports, and contributing to key project decisions
  • Monitoring project performance against KPIs, identifying risks and opportunities early
  • Supporting procurement activities, tender processes, and contract administration (e.g. JCT)
  • Contributing to high-quality project documentation, including reports, programmes, and briefing papers
