• Ensure high standards of quality and compliance, applying internal processes, safety (EHS) requirements, and industry best practices throughout the project lifecycle.
• Represent engineering in project governance, providing clear reporting on progress, issues, and KPIs, and contributing to key project reviews and decisions.
• Support site teams during execution, ensuring a smooth transition from design to construction and commissioning, and resolving technical issues efficiently.
• Mentor and empower project engineers, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement across the engineering organization.
• Carry our regular and thorough reviews of the progress and delivery of the PDG scope of work assessing all aspects of the project, including time, cost, quality, and risks.
