Title:

President, Major Projects and Portfolios

Worley is a global company of energy, chemicals and resources experts headquartered in Australia. We partner with our customers to deliver projects and create value across the life of their assets. We specialise in consulting, engineering, procurement and construction across the project lifecycle, with services extending through to operations and decommissioning. Leveraging extensive experience and AI‑enabled delivery, we support customers in navigating complexity as they meet today’s needs and transition to more sustainable solutions.

The Senior Project Director – Major Projects and Portfolios (MPP) will report to the President of Major Projects and Portfolios (MPP) for the EMEA region and is accountable for the successful execution of one of the largest and most complex energy infrastructure projects in the world.

This role requires exceptional leadership, communication and problem‑solving capabilities to direct subject matter experts and multi‑disciplinary teams operating across multiple locations. The Vice President, Project Management will drive efficient, safe and high‑quality project delivery while maintaining alignment with programme objectives.

The project’s execution strategy, contracting framework and overall schedule are largely established. In addition, Worley is a mature EPCM delivery organisation with well‑developed systems, tools and processes. The successful candidate must be comfortable entering an in‑flight project environment, adopting established delivery frameworks and operating effectively within the “Worley Way,” rather than building systems from first principles.

We are seeking a highly energized and motivated leader who embraces this challenge and can quickly establish credibility, build alignment and drive performance across all facets of project execution. Collaboration and the ability to motivate high‑performing teams will be critical to success. Worley fosters a culture grounded in partnership and shared success—embodied in a “we win together” mindset—and the Vice President, Project Management is expected to actively model and reinforce this culture.

The Senior Project Director – MPP is accountable for the overall leadership, strategic direction and successful delivery of the MPP Project.

This role provides full lifecycle oversight across engineering, procurement, construction management and stakeholder engagement, ensuring the project is executed safely, on schedule, within budget and in alignment with customer, partner and regulatory expectations.

The Senior Project Director – MPP serves as the primary interface with the client and key stakeholders, establishing trusted relationships while ensuring transparent communication and alignment on project objectives, risks and performance.

Leveraging Worley’s established EPCM delivery model and global integrated delivery capabilities, the role is responsible for driving execution excellence, embedding best practices and delivering consistent, high‑quality outcomes across all phases of the project.

• Champion a strong safety culture, driving consistent behaviours aligned with Worley’s safety standards and zero‑incident mindset.
• Provide visible, proactive leadership across all aspects of health, safety and environmental (HSE), performance, ensuring full compliance with regulatory requirements and company expectations.

• Lead and ensure execution of fully integrated project plans across all phases of the MPP Project.
• Drive strict adherence to Worley’s EPCM delivery model and established project governance frameworks.
• Effectively lead and integrate multi‑disciplinary teams across multiple locations and delivery functions—including engineering, procurement and construction management—to achieve efficient, high‑quality project execution.
• Maximise the utilisation…
