  3. Ensure on-time and on-margin project execution, delivering project and service profitability and cash conversion.
  4. Build and maintain a strong and learning Operations community, with required competence and optimal capacity to manage ABB's commitments as well as championing a culture of continuous improvement across the Operations organization.
  5. Develop and continuously improve business processes and procedures to enhance customer satisfaction.

  9. Assess risks and safety hazards, implementing plans to ensure the safety of people and equipment.
  10. Ensure our performance meets our contractual obligations and manage customer expectations, as well as internal stakeholders.

This is an opportunity to make a real impact by fostering a high-performing, collaborative environment while championing ABB's commitment to safety, integrity, and sustainability. Your leadership will directly influence operational performance, customer satisfaction, and financial success, all while contributing to the global energy transition.
