Lead periodic audits and provide rigorous oversight for external EPC partners to ensure strict adherence to corporate information and quality standards.
Act as the primary liaison between Global Engineering, IT, Quality Assurance, and Legal departments to harmonize digital information management.
Drive the evolution of digital project delivery by implementing digital twins and automated metadata extraction to reduce information loss during transitions.
