Experience of using, or working alongside, related software tools such as MSP, P6, Active Risk Manager, RiskHive, Deltec Cobra, Safran or Primavera Risk Analyser etc.
Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to interact successfully at all levels.

This role provides flexible hybrid working with two days per week in the office and the remainder working from home.
