• Analyze quality metrics and reports to identify trends, resolve issues early, and keep critical scopes on track.
• Look ahead to the next project phase, making sure quality processes are in place before key activities begin.
• Provide quality input to project planning and EMCAPS deliverables for the EPC2 scope.
• Collaborate with the roughly 10-person EPC2 engineering and project team, integrating quality work into the wider Upstream quality program.
• Travel internationally as needed to manufacturing sites for kickoff meetings, pre-production meetings, and key surveillance activities.
