You will have strong leadership abilities and significant experience in leading complex, multidisciplinary projects, as well as managing project teams in a technical environment. You should have a proven track record of supporting the successful delivery of both short- and long-term project goals, ensuring alignment with wider organisational objectives and effectively managing substantial budgets.
