Commercial and margin protection: Own operational commercial outcomes, enforce disciplined variation control, reduce cost‑to‑serve and partner with Finance on robust forecasting without becoming administratively burdened. Contract and risk management: Ensure timely reviews, proactive risk identification, compliant notices and documentation, and maintain professional leverage with clients. Manufacturing, supply chain and logistics leadership: Drive schedule adherence, quality, cost and OTIF performance to prevent margin erosion from delivery failure. Quality and snag‑free delivery: Embed robust QA processes, simple SOPs and repeatable standards so quality is designed in, not inspected at the end. Health & Safety leadership: Own exemplary H&S and CDM compliance through strong RAMS, audits, corrective actions and continuous improvement.
