Execute the project from basic design, through installation to successful commissioning, qualification and verification, and deliver a vertical startup.
Monitoring progress and performance against the project plan; taking action to resolve operational problems and minimize delays.
Ensure all the elements of the project (including technical people training, as needed) is performed in such a way that safety is always guaranteed on the whole project site and that a vertical start-up is assured.
