• Support development of installation training materials and engineering standards documentation
• Contribute to drawing standards and layout reviews for MHE installation projects
• Maintain project documentation in alignment with I&D engineering team standards and best practices
• Communicate project schedule status, risks, and team coordination updates to engineering leadership
• Participate in Daily Business Reviews (DBRs) providing installation progress updates on safety, job plans, and team readiness
• Support Weekly Business Reviews (WBRs) with MHE vendor partners covering risks, schedules, commercials, and capacity
• Contribute to Monthly Business Reviews (MBRs) with project-level metrics and milestones
• Produce regular status summaries covering team progress, schedule variance, and resource utilization
