•    Support site commissioning’s and customer communication both internal and external.

•    Troubleshoot complex mechanical, electrical, control, and process issues on live systems as well as simulations

•    Design control systems for interface to existing unit operations equipment, and evaluate all system components, requirements, and interactions.

•    Program/configure control system software in a visual programming language.

•    Responsible to coordinate and lead technical design reviews of projects and to update and archive all required documentation.

•    Demonstrated expertise in technical problem resolution especially with respect to power plant and other industrial operations.

•    Support all project documentation creation as part of a well-established process as well as custom needs.

•    Ensure project execution is carried out safely, to comply with company Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) guidelines and procedures.

•    Drive customer satisfaction via commitment to quality.

•    Must work well both independently and in a team environment.

•    Support sales activities to ensure accurate customer proposals and other commercial needs.

•    Interface with management, project managers, colleagues, and other engineers to keep stakeholders informed of project risks during execution.
