• Assessing progress reports and generating internal action plans to address challenges.
• Reviewing on installation designs, including drawings and method statements.
• Managing installation tools and ensuring regular inspections and calibration.
• Conducting site surveys to identify potential constraints and reporting them to the design team.
• Ensuring “as built” and “as installed” documentation is completed before revenue service.
