Assess, document, and communicate design changes to the Project Manager.
Participate in technical reviews (this may involve chairing the review meeting).
Check design outputs before submission to the PM/TA for approval.

The ability to organise and prioritise workload to ensure that timescales are met.
Good problem solving/contingency planning skills with ability to find quick, innovative and practical engineering solutions.
