From the original posting

The role

As Execution Readiness Lead, you will set the standard for when a Volta project or work package is ready to start on site. You will own the readiness framework that brings design, procurement, commercial, site and commissioning inputs together before every DSX mobilisation.

This is an expert-level individual contributor role. Reporting to the Senior Director, Global E2E DSX Execution, you will set direction across delivery, procurement and commercial teams, and your recommendation will decide whether work is released, conditionally released or deferred.

What you will do

Readiness framework

Own Volta's global execution readiness framework: gates, evidence, approval routes and decision rights.
Set acceptance criteria for design maturity, permits, contractor appointments, long-lead equipment, site access and resources.
Make sure project requirements are built into execution plans before mobilisation and maintained during execution.

Release decisions

Lead cross-functional readiness reviews across the portfolio.
Recommend release, conditional release or deferral to execution leadership, and escalate unresolved constraints.
Reassess readiness when material assumptions change after approval.

Portfolio assurance

Report readiness across the portfolio to execution leadership and regional delivery teams.
Analyse recurring blockers and drive fixes into planning, execution and handoffs.

What we are looking for

Expert-level experience in preconstruction, project delivery or programme assurance for complex capital projects, typically 7 to 9 years.
A track record setting stage gates or readiness frameworks across multiple projects.
Strong understanding of how design, procurement, mobilisation and construction depend on each other.
Ability to challenge plans, expose unsupported assumptions and make release calls with senior stakeholders.
Credibility across technical and commercial functions.

Nice to have

Data centre or mission-critical infrastructure.
Commissioning planning and equipment manufacturing readiness.
Readiness across a portfolio of international projects.

Competitive salary based on the work you do here, not your previous salary

Comprehensive health, wellbeing and insurance benefits
Generous number of vacation days each year
