  • Identifying project risks and developing mitigation plans
  • Commissioning new solutions at client sites; finding opportunities for improvements and follow-on work
  • Creating documentation, including project proposals, engineering notes, design traceability documentation, and case studies
  • Collaborating with Grantek's engineering team to ensure successful project delivery across all phases
  • Following up on pending quotes and maintaining consistency in quoting by following corporate guidelines
