Lead the inspection and verification of equipment and systems to confirm that they are installed according to Statutory Requirements, design specifications, MED’s, WIME’s, and manufacturer guidelines. Conduct and oversee testing procedures for various systems, such as pressure testing, functional tests, and performance assessments for pumps, valves, control systems, and treatment units. Oversee the sign off FAT and SAT, and process witness tests. Conduct visual routine works site checks including security, safety, and housekeeping; report hazards and/or take appropriate action to resolve. Monitor water processes using process control equipment such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system), to identify issues and trends. Respond to process alarms generated via telemetry (problem notification); identify the issue remotely or on site, rectify issue or escalate.
