• Promote consistent project management standards, processes, and reporting across the organization
• Contribute to lessons learned initiatives and continuous improvement within the brownfield portfolio
• Act as a senior escalation and support point for critical or complex projects

Profile

• Extensive experience within offshore brownfield project environments
• minimum + 10 years of experience 
• Strong project management background combined with operational understanding
• Experience with offshore modifications, revamps, maintenance, or asset lifecycle projects
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Solid understanding of project governance, risk management, planning, and execution
