• Monitor emerging technologies and provide technical improvement and value engineering (VE) recommendations.
• Develop and consolidate technical specifications based on the requirements of internal stakeholders, including Electrical, Mechanical, UPW/WWT, Gas, Chemical, Security, Office, and IT organizations.
• Define performance testing and validation methodologies for new systems.
• Ensure designs and implementation activities comply with applicable regulations, permits, and internal standards.
• Design systems that comply with environmental, health, and safety requirements.
• Develop technical countermeasures and corrective actions for system failures and drive implementation across the organization.
• Evaluate, review, and challenge vendor designs and technical proposals.
• Manage project scope, cost, schedule, space requirements, and safety performance.
• Perform risk assessments and FMEA analyses throughout the project lifecycle.

2. Maintenance and Operational Support

• Develop training materials and training programs for operations and maintenance teams.
• Lead maintenance improvement initiatives and contribute to problem-solving activities.
• Support troubleshooting activities, root cause analysis, and operational issue resolution.
• Apply statistical methods and data-driven analysis to improve quality and system performance.

3. Cost Optimization

• Drive reductions in operational costs, including energy conservation and resource efficiency initiatives.

4. Risk Reduction and Safety Improvement

• Reduce operational risks and drive initiatives aimed at eliminating incidents, accidents, and unplanned system failures.

5. Continuous Improvement

• Lead productivity improvement initiatives and technical value engineering (VE) activities.

6. Global Collaboration

• Participate in technical discussions, presentations, and meetings conducted in English with global stakeholders.

7. Technical Leadership

• Develop, implement, and share technical expertise and best practices throughout the organization.

8. Technical Documentation

• Prepare technical reports and contribute to technical publications and knowledge-sharing activities.

Minimum Qualifications
