You will work with the Project Director and Technical Leads to support the client through complex processes, anticipating their needs, managing their and our risks and ensuring that everyone’s expectations are aligned. You will have an assistant project manager and a project coordinator at your disposal and be responsible for ensuring their tasks and objectives are clearly defined and are being met within the workload.
You, along with the Project Director will be responsible for the Safety, Health and Well-being of everyone working on the project. You will enable a diverse environment and culture where everyone feels included and follow WSP’s guiding principles at all times.
