- Overseeing ITPs, witness testing and lifecycle quality assurance through construction, commissioning and asset handover
- Providing clear, data‑driven insight through reports and dashboards, highlighting trends, risks and improvement opportunities
- Translating quality performance into commercial impact, linking defects and rework to cost, programme and productivity
- Building strong relationships with project teams, SHEA, commissioning and supply chain partners to align expectations and priorities
- Championing digital and standardised quality approaches to improve consistency, efficiency and accuracy
- Creating a high‑performance, inclusive culture through visible leadership, coaching and continuous improvement
