• Act as the direct, regular interface with Engineering, Operations, Quality, EHS, Facilities, Finance, and Procurement, as well as Corporate Engineering/EHS stakeholders
• Proactively flag and resolve conflicts or resource contention between the SMP and CHP workstreams (e.g., shared A&E capacity, overlapping utility tie-ins, shared site access/outage windows)
• Maintain a consistently high, working-level understanding of both programs at all times, sufficient to represent either one directly to the site and corporate leadership without needing to check back with other team members
• Be based on-site or available for substantial, recurring on-site presence at the facility for the duration of the engagement
