Working alongside project managers, construction teams, shipbuilding teams, procurement and other project stakeholders, you will support the successful execution and delivery of complex projects.

Depending on the project requirements and level of experience, responsibilities may include:

• Coordinating and managing project activities throughout the project lifecycle.
  
  
• Supporting project managers with project planning, scheduling and delivery.

• Strong project coordination, interface management and stakeholder management skills.
