• Define project deliverables such as the Statement of Work (SOW) and technical specifications for goods and services.
• Monitor and control multiple workstreams, proactively managing conflicts, dependencies, and milestones.
• Conduct and lead Process Safety Management (PSM) activities such as HAZOPs, Risk Assessments, MOC, PSSR, LOPA, and development of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).
• Provide detailed project reporting including status updates, risks, issues, and deliverable tracking.
