  • Supervise and mentor junior engineers, ensuring technical consistency and knowledge sharing.
  • Manage BOM accuracy, procurement requests, and technical follow-up with suppliers.
  • Support production, installation, and commissioning teams with technical expertise.
  • Participate in sea trials, testing, and quality validation (QA/QC).
