• Collaborate directly with contractors and the EOR to protect design intent and drive cost-effective technical decisions, including site visits and in-person working sessions as needed.
• Analyze construction plans, contract specs, and applicable codes to identify requirements, conflicts, and potential risks early—before they become field issues.
• Create engineering re-estimates and partner with sales and operations leadership to align scope, assumptions, and execution strategy
• Perform peer reviews and quality assurance checks to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency across engineering outputs.
• Support large, complex, and innovative projects—leveraging internal and external resources to deliver results on time and with high customer satisfaction.
