Integrated Transport & Design Leadership

- Working with multi disciplinary teams to ensure safety is embedded early through planning and design, rather than retrofitted through mitigation.
- Supporting post implementation monitoring, performance review, and continuous safety improvement.

- Ensuring compliance with QA/QC, document management, and professional assurance standards.
