• Collaborating with a diverse team of colleagues and external suppliers to deliver projects on time and to specification.

• Championing a culture of safety by maintaining strict adherence to Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) protocols at all times.

Special Role Requirements

• Able to travel extensively to and from projects and various field assignments.

• Willing to work holidays, weekends, and overtime as required by field assignments.
