  • Instrumentation or control documentation
• Willingness to work with various stakeholders including construction supervision team, design consultants, vendors and contractors
• Determination and drive to deliver projects as per scope, cost and schedule

Key Responsibilities include:

• Assist with planning and delivering capital projects safely and efficiently
• Help ensure projects stay on track with scope, schedule, budget and quality
