As our Project Supervisor - E&I, you'll play a critical role in delivering Electrical & Instrumentation investment and maintenance activities across Cadent's operational assets.

You'll act as a key interface between operational teams, project stakeholders and delivery partners, ensuring successful outcomes across all aspects of E&I delivery.
