- Support OE and Owner quality surveillance activities; review inspection/test results, punchlists, and corrective actions from an engineering standpoint.
- Help verify that mechanical, electrical, civil/structural, and I&C installations are suitable for safe and reliable operation.
- Perform field engineering assessments to support problem solving and resolution of unexpected site conditions or design conflicts.
- Work with home office leads to develop and document technically sound solutions to field issues (e.g., design clarifications, minor redesigns, field adjustments).
- Support OE review of change orders and claims from a technical perspective, including scope, basis, and potential impacts.

- Assist in the review and evaluation of pre-functional checks, functional tests, performance tests, and reliability runs to confirm alignment with contract and design requirements.
- Help track and resolve punchlist and start-up issues requiring engineering input.
- Promote and support site safety culture, working in alignment with Owner, EPC, and OE safety programs and procedures.
