• Oversee and enforce Configuration Management principles and ensure all changes follow strict change control processes.
• Direct the application of design-for-manufacturing principles, particularly for FOAK components or platforms requiring advanced engineering stewardship.
• Validate manufacturability, transportation, installation, and commissioning constraints before commercial award, escalating gaps requiring leadership decision.
• Ensure quality requirements, inspection regimes, and regulatory obligations are integrated across all stages of execution and are met prior to package handover.
• Own performance against bid basis cost and schedule, driving early identification of deviations and implementing senior-level intervention or recovery plans.
• Deliver accurate, executive-level reporting, including forward-looking assessments and scenario-based projections.
