• Provide technical input and review for material procurement:
• Preparation of discipline-specific requisitions and specifications.
• Vendor document reviews and bid clarifications.
• FAT/inspection support and technical evaluation of suppliers.
• Lead and review structural calculations (global strength, fatigue, ultimate strength, foundation capacity, etc.) and prepare discipline reports.
• Provide technical support during fabrication and construction, including site visits, troubleshooting, and method statement reviews.
• Ensure HSE compliance and quality standards are embedded in all deliverables and construction support.
• Mentor junior engineers, share best practices, and ensure knowledge transfer within the discipline team.
