• Ensure cybersecurity and data governance for TAS/PLC/SCADA integrations. 

D. Stakeholder & Delivery Leadership 

• Act as client-facing lead for multibilliondollar programs (mine expansion, beneficiation, smelters, ports/terminals, rail logistics). 

• Lead multi-disciplinary teams (civil/mech/electrical/instrumentation, digital, safety, QA/QC); coach Associates/Sr Associates. 

• Manage benefits realization; track KPIs tied to business case (throughput, cost, schedule predictability). 

Required Qualifications & Experience 

• 6–8 years relevant experience in construction + metals/mining + PMO consulting across capex projects. 

• PMP® certification (mandatory). 

• M.Tech (NICMAR) preferred (Construction/Project Management). 

• Alternatively, BE/B.Tech (Civil/Mechanical/Electrical) + MBA with strong project/PMO track record.
