- Support close-out activities including punch lists, as-built verification, warranty coordination, and lessons learned documentation

- Mentor junior construction staff and promote consistent implementation of ENGIE’s construction management standards

- Commitment to ENGIE’s safety culture and ethical standards.

Additional Details
