• Support procurement, factory and site acceptance testing, point-to-point testing, integrated-system testing, operator demonstrations, site inspections, and resolution of non-conformances.
• Participate in technical coordination and integration workshops, contribute to engineering progress reporting, and coordinate deliverables with specialist packages, procurement, and construction programmes.
