  • Prepare, generate, and distribute engineering reports and technical documentation as required.
  • Simplify complex concepts into clear, actionable project plans.
  • Review and verify labor documentation and customer purchase orders, ensuring accuracy and completeness.
  • Compare estimates and invoices, identifying discrepancies and resolving them promptly.
  • Apply core project management principles, including resource allocation, scope definition, timeline development, budgeting, cost-benefit analysis, and risk assessment.
  • Design and implement risk mitigation strategies, securing stakeholder buy-in and applying the seven steps of continuous improvement.
