  • Safety & Compliance: Enforce rigorous site safety procedures, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), Permit to Work (PTW) systems, hazardous area classifications (Ex/ATEX compliance), and ESDM mining regulations.

  • Handover & Documentation: Review, complete, and sign off on field calibration certificates, loop sheets, commissioning test packages, and turnover dossiers for operational sign-off.
