  • Working with CAD designers in the preparation of CAD tasks and completion sign-off;
  • Undertake investigations for emergent design issues, referring to points of technical authority and actively engaging in other teams;
  • Aggressively pursue timely closure of design change contributions from the multi-disciplinary team, escalating issues where appropriate in pursuit of timely delivery of the work packs.
  • Adhere to the design specification and component catalogues
  • Propose technical solutions to issues that are found on the generic design concept;
  • Effectively communicate with the different stakeholders in the design delivery workflow (calculation team, layout, equipment)
