• Develop engineering task breakdowns and technical execution plans.
• Lead and coordinate activities across process, mechanical, electrical and automation engineering disciplines.
• Work closely with global engineering teams to ensure designs meet customer and project requirements.
• Monitor engineering progress, budgets and project milestones, reporting status to Project Managers.
• Review engineering costs and identify opportunities to improve project performance.
• Support procurement, production, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and delivery activities.
• Ensure all project documentation is completed to a high standard and delivered on time.
