  • Coordinate with central OpEx team to assess which SOPs may be applicable to non-MC operations.
  • Performance Monitoring & Reporting

  • Set up and manage project performance dashboards across cost, schedule, productivity, and safety incident metrics.
  • Facilitate periodic audits and retrospectives to track adherence and impact of standards.
  • Roll out new processes based on applied lessons learned from prior experience.
