  • Maintain comprehensive and precise project records, including data, documentation, and reports.
  • Collaborate with clients to enhance understanding of systems and design intent, reviewing operational modes, sequences of operations, and specifics of equipment, operations, and maintenance.
  • Commission both retrofits and new constructions.
  • Develop and refine methodologies, tools, and standards to support an evolving commissioning practice.
  • Foster and maintain effective relationships with existing and prospective clients, customers, and contractors to drive business development.
  • Responsible for sales pursuits and proposal development.
