Review all aspects of the proposal, from Statement of Compliance through to Commissioning and Hand-over, including provision of Training and Documentation requirements to the customer.

Act as technical authority for engineering decisions and design philosophies throughout the project lifecycle.

Once Technical Review is complete, engage with our partners, contractors, and vendors to assure the most cost-effective and technically sound solution has been selected by the Pre-Sales teams.
