Support Powertech’s quality management program by following applicable quality standards, procedures, and accreditation requirements.
Contribute to the review and development of technical methods, procedures, and standards to improve safety, efficiency, consistency, and quality.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across Powertech and support integrated, cross-disciplinary technical solutions.
Assist in evaluating opportunities for new services, including technical feasibility and potential client or market needs.
