Create studies, reports, specifications, requirements, estimates, electrical drawings, one-line diagrams, and equipment layouts
Balance hands‑on project execution with continuous improvement of project processes, standards, and quality
Partner cross‑functionally with Controls Engineering, Service, Commissioning, and Sales teams to deliver strong customer outcomes
Mentor and support team members through technical guidance, knowledge sharing, and collaboration
Communicate project status, challenges, and progress clearly to internal stakeholders and customers
