• Act as the primary project coordination point between Elgin’s internal project team, finance, legal, procurement, engineering, construction, operations, route‑to‑market and external advisers, ensuring that all work streams operate from one integrated delivery plan, one risk position and one set of decision requirements.

• Manage the relationship and reporting cadence with project finance lenders, equity investors, shareholder representatives, lender technical advisers and other key finance‑facing stakeholders, including preparing and presenting clear, decision‑ready updates for shareholder forums and related governance meetings.
