Manage progress and risk
Resolve technical and delivery issues, maintain visibility of project risks and take timely action to protect safety, quality, cost and programme.
Control changes

Communicate clearly
Keep customers, management and colleagues informed of progress, decisions and any support required.
Support installation and commissioning
Coordinate site activities, testing and resolution of outstanding issues so systems meet agreed requirements.
