Ensure construction work aligns with engineering designs, specifications, and safety regulations.

Conduct pre-commissioning and commissioning tests for piping and mechanical systems, including hydrostatic, pneumatic, and leak testing.

Troubleshoot complex mechanical and piping failures, alignment issues, vibration concerns, and process inefficiencies.

Supervise as-built documentation and modification requests based on site conditions.

Ensure compliance with welding, NDT, and quality control requirements for piping and mechanical structures.

4. Vendor Coordination & Procurement Support

Manage relationships with vendors, suppliers, and EPC contractors, ensuring equipment and materials meet technical requirements.

Review and approve vendor proposals, technical bids, and engineering documentation for compliance.
