As part of their group wide CSR program, you will also be responsible for the company’s community website (the cost of which is met by external sponsors), regularly sharing updates and advancements in global project controls. This will require you to liaise with sponsors, industry leaders and members (corporate and individual) in order to update the site with relevant content. This engagement will obviously also help drive prospective clients to the training business, and elsewhere within the group, but profits are re-invested in enhancing the community portal for the benefit of all Project Controls specialists across the globe.
