Support the development of design basis documents, technical specifications, engineering calculations, reports, and construction packages.
Collaborate with clients, utilities, equipment suppliers, and project stakeholders to deliver high-quality solutions.
Provide technical support during procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning.
Participate in multidisciplinary project teams delivering renewable energy, utility, and industrial power projects.
Support continuous improvement initiatives and share technical knowledge across the team.
