• Vendor & Material Engineering: Oversee the review and approval of Material Approval Requests (MAR). Evaluate vendor technical documents and datasheets to ensure compliance with international codes and project specs.

• Client & Stakeholder Relations: Act as the technical face of the project. Lead discussions with clients, defend design decisions, negotiate practical alternatives, and address site queries promptly under pressure.
