• Overseeing engineering deliverables, including Issued for Bid, Issued for Procurement, Issued for Construction, and As-built drawings, design criteria, and RFP contributions.
• Representing E&C’s interests in internal and external meetings, providing progress updates, issue resolution, and risk mitigation to management.
