- Rapidly learn and adopt new tools and platforms as business needs evolve
Requirements
- 4–7 years' experience in project management, operations, or a related delivery role (facilities management, construction, engineering, or infrastructure sectors preferred)
- Strong working knowledge of Excel and MS Project (or similar scheduling tools); proficiency in Canva for stakeholder-ready visuals
