  • Understanding and application of EPC value engineering principles.
  • Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to stay on track, manage multiple tasks, and maintain clear documentation.
  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to collaborate effectively with internal teams, clients, engineers of record, and contractors.
