Success in this position requires strong operational oversight and effective coordination with engineering, construction, safety, and maintenance teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee daily Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) operations to ensure safety, quality, and schedule targets are met.
• Plan and coordinate resources, including shift management, equipment and materials.

A solid understanding of TBM technology, tunneling processes, and safety standards is essential. You’ll bring strong leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to manage diverse teams and collaborate effectively with multiple stakeholders. Excellent organisational skills, project management capabilities, and relevant safety or TBM certifications will further support your success in this role.
