What the role needs to deliver

A useful brief distinguishes pre construction mobilisation from active delivery and handover. Clarify responsibility for EPC interfaces, grid connection milestones, change control, safety governance and operational readiness.

Evidence to explore in interviews

Ask for examples of delayed equipment deliveries, interface disputes, commissioning defects and recovery planning. Explore what the candidate personally decided, how risks were escalated and what changed as a result.

Build the shortlist around real milestones

Project scale alone is not a reliable proxy for capability. Consider the technology, contracting model, site constraints, team structure and the candidate’s record of working with owners, contractors and network stakeholders.

Common questions
