• Coordinate with the appropriate engineer, contractor, supplier or specialist to resolve identified issues.
• Follow up outstanding actions and ensure issues are properly closed out.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, P&IDs, process diagrams and technical documentation.
• Understand the wider process and how individual pieces of equipment interact within a system.
• Carry out basic mechanical and electrical fault finding where appropriate.
• Support functional testing and commissioning of plant and equipment.
• Identify safety, quality or operational issues and escalat[e] them appropriately.
• Liaise with client representatives, site teams, contractors and third-party suppliers.
• Provide clear updates on commissioning progress and outstanding issues.
• Ensure completed works are properly documented and signed off.
• Attend multiple client sites depending on project requirements.
