This is a senior leadership role responsible for driving operational excellence, quality systems, client relationships, and business growth across both regions. The ideal candidate combines strong technical/QHSE leadership with commercial awareness and the ability to represent the company in front of clients.

Key Responsibilities:

Client & Business Development

• Design and maintain operational monitoring systems (daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly tracking)

Requirements
