Ensure the delivery of projects within the agreed scope, time and budget. Manage and deploy resources effectively, forecast and communicate the requirements to resource managers.
Lead design reviews for the engineering solution, engaging all relevant disciplines, including design authority, manufacturing, installation, operations etc.
