Responsibilities include developing engineering execution plans, coordinating multi‑disciplinary engineering teams, reviewing design packages and specifications, and supporting procurement and contract management activities.

During construction and commissioning phases, you will work with field operations, quality teams, and contractors to address technical issues, provide engineering guidance, and ensure successful project delivery. The role also requires preparing technical recommendations and communicating project updates to senior leadership.
