  • Proficiency reviewing hydraulic and alarm/detection calculations, drawings, and submittals; experience establishing ITM programs and executing system acceptance testing
  • Strong risk-based decision-making, technical writing, and field presence; effective collaboration with multi-discipline teams, contractors, and regulators
  • Experience with special hazards (e.g., clean agents, flammable liquids/gases, high-energy electrical spaces, energy storage) is a plus
  • The ability to obtain and maintain a Q clearance
