  • Create and implement commissioning plans that meet quality assurance benchmarks and industry best practices.
  • Troubleshoot and calibrate systems during handoff, validating performance through comprehensive functional testing.
  • Deliver hands-on training to client teams and provide long-term support on system maintenance and optimization.
  • Strategic & Technical Development
