Description

Company Description
Turner & Townsend is a leading global consultancy across the real estate, infrastructure and natural resources sectors.

We're passionate about making the difference, transforming performance on the world's most impactful programmes for a green, inclusive and productive world.

That means delivering better outcomes for our clients, helping our people to realize their potential, and doing our part to create a prosperous society.

The Performance Forum, managed by Turner & Townsend, is a joint industry project of 23 leading energy companies.

Over the past 30 years, the Performance Forum has developed best practice data collection and benchmarking methodologies for use on conventional energy capital portfolios.

The sharing of outturn data has developed industry leading external benchmarks for cost and schedule of upstream facilities, considered 'must have' information for the members.

Through study groups, webinars and workshops, it has enabled collaboration, lessons learned and industry improvement and as the oil and gas industry transitions to new energies and technologies, our scope is expanding to include clean energy and low carbon solutions.

As Associate Director, you will be focused on identifying emerging cost and schedule trends across all facility types, understanding drivers of project cost overruns, highlighting areas of risk, and providing independent benchmarking studies to our clients.

You will support future growth and development of our service offering.

Typical responsibilities associated with this role will include, but are not limited to:

Project management of consultancy work to ensure client objectives and delivery quality are achieved, within agreed time and budget.
Prepare commercial and technical proposals for consulting studies, determining the appropriate scope of work, budget, resourcing and schedule.
