At Turner & Townsend, we drive meaningful outcomes through innovative and comprehensive programs that span consultancy, project delivery, and post-project operations. With a global presence of 229 offices across 75 countries, our services are always within reach, enabling us to make a lasting impact on projects in the real estate, infrastructure, and natural resources sectors worldwide.
Through our Global Enterprise team, we form long-term partnerships with multinational organisations to optimise their real estate portfolios. In collaboration with CBRE, we offer bespoke solutions that encompass strategic planning, portfolio optimisation, and facilities management, ultimately driving business success. This specialised approach enables our sector-specific teams to deliver tailored expertise across nine key industries, including finance, technology, healthcare, and more, ensuring exceptional service and superior outcomes for our clients.
The purpose of this role is to spearhead Principal Projects in the Delivery Area, driving growth and excellence across the division as a key member of the Enterprise Principal team. To achieve this, the successful candidate will be responsible for leading the implementation and continued development of Turner & Townsend's (T&T) client base, products, and services, as well as fostering a culture and behaviours that prioritise exceptional client service and people.

To succeed in this role, you will collaborate closely with key stakeholders, including T&T Country Management and Leadership, Enterprise Project Management (PJM) and Sector Leaders, and CBRE Leadership, to ensure a unified approach and drive business success. Your expertise will inform the strategic direction and growth of Enterprise Project Management, providing valuable insights and guidance to shape the company's future.
As a corporate citizen, you will work in tandem with other business leaders to achieve company targets, develop talent and succession plans, and present a cohesive and client-centric approach. By doing so, you will contribute to the company's overall success and reputation, while driving growth and excellence in the Principal Projects sphere.
