  • Operations to validate high‑level shop loading, sequencing, and execution constraints

  • Supply Chain to identify long‑lead materials, vendor risks, and procurement constraints

• Surface execution risks, constraints, and trade‑off options prior to finalizing delivery commitments

• Document key assumptions and risks to enable informed commercial decision‑making

Project Handover & Early Execution Support

• Support clean handoff of awarded projects to Project Management, including:

  • Defined scope and assumptions

  • Identified risks and mitigation strategies

  • Technical clarification of quoted configurations

• Assist with early engineering coordination to ensure drawings, documentation, and material requirements align with execution strategy

• Provide technical clarification during early project phases as required

Technical Communication & Continuous Improvement

• Act as a technical point of contact for internal clarification questions during quoting and early project phases

• Support development and refinement of standard designs, templates, and estimating inputs

• Capture lessons learned from executed projects to improve future feasibility assessments and quoting accuracy

• Improve clarity and consistency of internal communication between functions

Reporting Relationship
