• System Verification: Inspect piping layouts, P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams), and mechanical sign-offs to confirm readiness for testing.


• Execution Oversight: Supervise dynamic water flushing, high-velocity oil flushing, or air/steam blowing loops.


• Chemical Treatment Management: Coordinate degreasing, acid pickling, passivation, and biocide dosing with chemical specialists.


• Quality Control & Testing: Monitor parameters like flow velocity, pressure, turbidity, and iron/conductivity levels to meet acceptance criteria.


• Safety & Compliance: Enforce safety protocols, including confined space entry, chemical handling, and hazardous waste management per OSHA guidelines.


• Establish data requirements for the startup automation tools in accordance with the project automation plan, designing/developing workflows, forms, and templates for automation tools.
