• Support commissioning processes, ensuring systems are scheduled properly, tested, verified, documented, and fully functional at turnover.


• Conduct quality control inspections, manage punch lists, and follow up on resolution.


• Build strong relationships with subcontractors, vendors, owners, engineers, and internal teams.


• Stay active in the industry, representing Danis in trade associations and sharing insights from the field.
