Overview

Travel to high-priority project sites as directed by leadership to identify, diagnose, and resolve the most challenging production and operational issues.

Collaborate closely with site teams and private company to drive critical decision-making in the field, ensuring alignment with project targets and safety standards.
Provide feedback and context to company when sensor data or automated monitoring is unavailable such as auxiliary equipment readings, fill site behavior, and visual cues to enhance data awareness and operational decision-making.
Assist in training crew members and site teams to better understand operational indicators, system behavior, and how their observations can support proprietary troubleshooting. Educate teams on proprietary capabilities and how to effectively request specific analyses, data pulls, or investigations to accelerate issue resolution.
Conduct local data collection at project sites to supplement centralized monitoring. Blend analysis of real-time data with qualitative visual observations and team feedback to build a more comprehensive operational picture. Integrate these local insights with company datasets to uncover inefficiencies, validate hypotheses, and recommend actionable improvements.
Serve as a vital link between project sites and the company, ensuring timely and accurate communication of findings, recommendations, and project needs. Bridge the gap between field observations and centralized analytics by conveying critical operational intelligence.
Identify opportunities to enhance dredging efficiency, reduce downtime, and improve operational workflows through engineering support and problem-solving techniques.
Assist in documenting site investigations, root cause findings, and engineering evaluations. Contribute to end-of-job (EOJ) reports, lessons learned summaries, and the development of long-term monitoring and diagnostic methods to support continual improvement and knowledge retention.
