2. Membership with a recognized professional body (such as the Institute of Environment Management and Assessment, Royal Town Planning Institute, or Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors).
3. An understanding of the commercial drivers of major infrastructure projects and a working knowledge of relevant Safety, Health, and Environmental legislation.
4. Proven experience in leading and managing project teams, particularly in environments with high uncertainty and rapid change.
5. Exceptional ability to communicate and collaborate with diverse groups, including local communities, local authorities, and statutory consultees.
