About the Role: A leading technology consulting firm is seeking a Senior Business Analyst / Project Manager to support the implementation of an Asset Performance Management (APM) system for a renewable energy client.

Success in this role requires the ability to build consensus, navigate competing priorities, and drive outcomes across multiple stakeholder groups that are not fully dedicated to the project. The ideal candidate is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, facilitating discussions, gathering requirements, documenting processes, coordinating testing activities, and helping move implementation efforts forward when stakeholders have limited bandwidth.
