The role manages projects through concept development, feasibility assessment, basic engineering, detailed design oversight, procurement follow up, and preparation for execution, ensuring that all engineering deliverables meet quality, cost, and schedule objectives. This position does not involve direct construction management; instead, it emphasizes office-driven project leadership with strong coordination between engineering teams, internal departments, and site representatives.
Occasional short visits may be required for specific technical reviews.
