•    Managing technical interfaces with project teams and providing necessary documentation for procurement, construction, and commissioning
•    Collaborating with relevant teams during Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and resolving technical issues during project warranty
•    Supporting knowledge capitalization and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives
