• Balance trade capability, capacity, and demand to maintain continuity of work and minimise delays

• Use data and insights to forecast demand, identify risks, and inform allocation decisions
• Partner closely with Construction teams to align workforce planning with build programs and delivery targets
• Build and maintain strong relationships with trade partners to support engagement and retention
• Support and optimise workforce and scheduling technology to improve visibility, accuracy, and efficiency
