• Review project specifications, drawings, and control strategies, ensuring all technical requirements are clearly defined and achievable. 

• Support the project manager in developing project plans, timelines, design reviews, risk assessments, and technical documentation. 

• Prepare and coordinate engineering deliverables, including control panel layouts, control schematics, points lists, I/O schedules, and system architecture designs. 

• Work with internal software and commissioning teams to ensure control sequences, graphics packages, and network configurations align with project intent. 

• Oversee subcontractor installation quality, ensuring compliance with designs, standards, and safety requirements. 

• Provide technical direction during installation and integration phases, resolving design queries and coordinating across M&E contractors and stakeholders. 

• Participate in factory acceptance tests, design signoffs, and key project milestones; support commissioning teams by ensuring design clarity and resolving technical escalations.
