- Document field activities, prepare technical reports, and provide real-time feedback to engineering and project management teams.
- Serve as the primary technical interface between the client and customer site leadership.
- Support outage planning, work package development, and readiness reviews.
- Mentor less experienced field engineers, apprentices, or craft leads as part of the client’s workforce development strategy.
