• Support the internal dissemination of permitting requirements, key constraints and lessons learned to improve awareness, coordination and planning across projects.

• Identify synergies among projects, phases and geographies to streamline workflows, reduce duplication and strengthen the overall permitting approach.

• Provide structured permitting inputs, background information and historical references to support tendering and project teams.

• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives related to permitting governance, cross-functional interfaces and company processes.

• A structured and improvement-oriented mindset, with the ability to identify synergies, recurring issues and opportunities to enhance company processes.

• Ability to work independently while maintaining close alignment with the Permitting Manager and the wider organization.

• Excellent command of English language.

• Availability to travel up to 10–20% of working time.
