• Partner with Project Managers, Service Delivery Leads, Vessel Managers, Operations Leads, and the Fleet Planner to synchronise schedules and readiness.
• Forecasting & utilisation reporting: provide portfolio‑level dashboards for workforce and asset utilisation, demand outlook, and risks.

• Proven experience in resource management/workforce planning within complex, multi‑project delivery environments.

• Experience managing contractors and mixed work forces, ensuring compliance, performance, and rate alignment.
• Highly effective stakeholder partner to project, service delivery, operations, and fleet teams, able to lead planning forums and act as an escalation point.
• Confident leader with a data‑driven approach, able to forecast, report on utilisation, and develop teams, processes, and planning tools.
