- Read and work accurately from technical drawings, schematics, and system documentation.
- Support and provide guidance to less experienced engineers when required.
- Work closely with Project Managers, Lead Engineers, and third-party contractors to keep projects progressing.
- Identify site issues or dependencies that could affect installation and communicate these to the relevant project team.
- Provide regular progress updates when acting independently on site.
- Protect completed areas, fixtures, and high-end finishes while installation work is taking place.
- Maintain appropriate records of completed work and site conditions.
- Follow company and site health & safety requirements at all times.
