• Monitor workstream progress, manage risks, maintain documentation, and report on status and dependencies to the EUPTD Project Manager.
• Support local P&C teams by providing tools, training, and knowledge sharing for successful implementation.
• Assist with post-implementation reviews and identify areas for ongoing enhancement to ensure sustainable compliance.
