Engineering, Procurement and Contract Management
•    Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering and design reviews to confirm technical quality, constructability, operability, maintainability and compliance with the design basis.
•    Develop contracting and procurement strategies with Supply Chain; support bid evaluations, contract awards, vendor coordination and expediting.
•    Administer consultant, contractor and supplier performance, including scope compliance, progress measurement, change orders, claims, quality and commercial closeout.
Execution, Commissioning and Handover
•    Lead safe field execution in coordination with operating departments, including access, shutdowns, tie-ins, construction sequencing and interface management.
•    Ensure inspection, testing, quality assurance and quality control requirements are established, documented and completed.
•    Develop commissioning and operational-readiness plans covering systems completion, training, spare parts, procedures, asset data, warranties and turnover documentation.
•    Complete project closeout, lessons learned and post-implementation review, including confirmation of performance against approved objectives and benefits.
Leadership and Stakeholder Management
