To manage and coordinate the PMC in the design review of detailed engineering and ensure a common Masdar Clean Energy approach in requirements related to engineering across projects.

Responsibilities not limited to:

• Manage all technical aspects of the projects within the delivery team, making sure the proper technical resources are in place and that the project is constructed and commissioned as per the contractual requirements in terms of scope, quality and timing.
• Coordinate and manage the review and approvals of engineering deliverables as per the project requirement.
• Coordinate the technical part of the interface with other engineers (EPC, OE and Masdar Clean Energy, i.e. HV, Civils …) for agreed requirements and ensure they are implemented in the project.
• Support in field engineering supervision regarding PV and BESS aspects and managing owner's engineer.
• Oversighting project execution activities including but not limited to engineering planning, owner technical specifications (OTS), design review, stage inspection, monitoring and tracking progress.
• Identification of technical risk involvement during execution and possible mitigation plant.
• Provide technical requirements to be included in all RFPs for EPC, O&M, equipment supply agreements and/or plant components..
• Participate in (EPC, O&M and/or main equipment) contract negotiation and selection regarding technical aspects.
• Define technical requirements for RfP/tender documents for Owners Engineer (OE) and Project Management Consultants (PMC).
