Your Role

You will be instrumental in the successful delivery of significant, large-scale site projects within our Supply Chain network. In this capacity, you will serve as Asahi's on-site representative during a crucial construction phase, operating at the nexus of builder activities, automation installation, and operational readiness. Your capacity to orchestrate multiple stakeholders, proactively identify risks, and maintain delivery schedules is essential for achieving positive project outcomes. This is a hands-on, site-based opportunity for an individual who thrives in dynamic settings, enjoys resolving issues in real-time, and brings structure and clarity to intricate delivery programmes.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as Asahi's on-site representative, ensuring coherence among construction, automation, and operational teams.
• Monitor daily site operations, identifying and reporting risks that may affect timelines, safety, or quality.
• Coordinate interactions between builder and automation workstreams, managing overlaps and constraints.
• Deliver clear, structured updates on project advancement, risks, and mitigation strategies.
• Lead the delivery of Asahi-managed scopes, including fit-out works and skate dock installation.
• Supervise contractors and subcontractors, ensuring work is planned, sequenced, and compliant.
• Support testing, commissioning, and handover processes in conjunction with automation partners.
• Participate in site meetings, conduct inspections, and confirm readiness for each project delivery stage.
• Cultivate robust working relationships with internal teams, site builders, and automation providers.

About You

You are a practical, solution-oriented professional who prefers working on-site and being closely involved in delivery. You are adept at managing complexity, collaborating with diverse stakeholders, and making informed decisions to ensure project momentum.

You will bring:

• Experience within engineering, construction, logistics automation, or manufacturing environments.
• Strong project coordination abilities, capable of managing competing on-site priorities.
• Demonstrated experience working across cross-functional teams and with external contractors.
• Confidence in identifying risks, problem-solving, and escalating issues as necessary.
• Effective communication skills, enabling clear and timely updates.
• A collaborative approach, with the ability to influence without direct authority.
