Travel

• Visit customer and vendor sites as required by Sales and Project teams to conduct technical feasibility studies and collect on-site information for engineering design.
• Support engineering activities at project locations to ensure designs are practically implementable and aligned with site conditions.

Expected Outcomes:

• Accurate and complete process documentation delivered on schedule.
• High-quality 3D/2D drawings with minimal rework, ready for fabrication and installation.
• Tailored designs that satisfy client specifications and project constraints.
• Seamless cross-team coordination and consistent, up-to-date documentation across all project stages.
• Accurate site data collected and feasibility assessed, enabling practical and error-free design execution.

Key Responsibility Areas:

Health & Safety

Ensure all engineering designs and layouts comply with relevant health, safety, and environmental standards applicable to process plants and bulk material handling systems.

Adhere to site safety protocols during customer and vendor visits, conducting feasibility studies with due consideration for operational and personnel safety.
