Act as the customer-facing sales representative, capture lead and delivery lead in one: securing work, shaping winning scopes and delivering safe, technically robust and commercially sound outcomes across ports, marine, transport, logistics, utilities, water, industrial infrastructure and associated enabling works.

Scope:

Accountable for multiple infrastructure scopes running in parallel, including ports and marine facilities, logistics and industrial infrastructure, utilities, water systems, site development, enabling works, upgrades, asset renewal and interface-heavy brownfield modifications from customer engagement and proposal development through studies, concept/select, FEED, detailed engineering, procurement support, construction support, commissioning and handover.

Responsibilities:

• Multiple Project Leadership: Maintain an integrated view of assigned, pipeline and awarded projects, including priorities, milestones, resources, deliverables, risks, opportunities, interfaces and customer commitments. Set proportionate governance, rebalance resources, protect critical-path activities and escalate constraints early.

• Scope & Commercial Management: Define, control and manage project scope, deliverables, assumptions, exclusions and interfaces from proposal through execution. Maintain strong commercial discipline through MOPC ownership, baseline scope control, change and variation management, entitlement protection, forecasting, invoicing, cash flow, risk and opportunity management. Monitor commercial and delivery performance indicators, including CPI/WPI where applicable, ensuring brownfield constraints, live asset interfaces and commissioning requirements are addressed proportionately within the execution strategy.
• Stakeholders & Interfaces: Act as the Worley focal point for customers, authorities, operators, developers and delivery partners, aligning priorities, decisions and performance. Coordinate EPCs, contractors, vendors, specialist consultants and internal teams with clear interfaces, responsibilities, deliverables, review cycles and escalation paths.
• Execution Controls: Prepare fit-for-purpose execution plans and control scope, schedule, cost, progress, productivity, quality, resources, risk, opportunity and change across multiple concurrent projects. Maintain accurate MOPC inputs, forecasts, CPI/WPI trends, earned progress, invoicing status and commercial records, using performance data to drive recovery actions, protect entitlement and support timely management decisions.
• Technical & Team Leadership: Integrate multi-discipline engineering across civil, structural, marine, electrical, mechanical, utilities, geotechnical, environmental, planning and construction disciplines. Ensure requirements, codes, standards and authority conditions are applied while maintaining focus on critical interfaces, key deliverables and team collaboration.
