Proactively build strong relationships with external stakeholders, regulatory bodies (i.e. AEMO), Asset Managers and key project stakeholders.
Work collaboratively with internal teams to ensure effective communication and alignment across operational activities.
Ensure timely delivery of services under Asset Management, O&M and 3rd party contracts.
