• Strong hands‑on experience with engineering, construction, vendor documentation, and turnover packages
• Proven experience supporting capital projects in regulated environments
• Ability to review complex technical documentation for accuracy, completeness, and compliance
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail with the ability to manage high documentation volumes

• Experience with ACC, BIM 360, Aconex, or similar construction/document collaboration platforms
• Familiarity with commissioning, qualification, and validation (CQV) documentation workflows
