* Experience establishing and managing complex design systems, quality frameworks and verification processes.
* A track record of building strong client relationships and working collaboratively across joint ventures, alliances or multidisciplinary project environments.
* High‐level communication skills, commercial awareness and experience with digital delivery tools and EDMS platforms.
* Relevant tertiary qualifications and leadership or safety training.
