  • Provide technical support to Asset and Operations planning teams, and engineers at all levels.
  • Lead Joint Planning Teams providing technical and strategic input on options analysis and scope development.
  • Manage accurate budgeting and cost tracking for customer and internal projects, ensuring budget adherence.
