· Support factory acceptance testing, loop checks, point to point verification, calibration records, commissioning, and startup under supervision, including punch list tracking and as-built markups.

· Communicate with internal project teams, instrument and control system vendors, and contractors on assigned tasks, and participate in client, operations, and vendor meetings alongside a senior engineer, including taking notes and tracking action items.

· Build technical knowledge through mentorship, formal training, self-learning, and hands-on project and field work, ask questions when direction is unclear, and share lessons learned with peers.

· Support business development and proposal efforts by compiling background information and past project data, and contribute ideas for continuous improvement of design standards, workflows, tools, templates, and checklists.
