You will be the person helping turn technical intent into information the project team can actually build from. Mechanical technical submissions, client comments, supplier queries, marked-up drawings, plant replacement strategies, maintenance schedules and design team coordination will all sit with you. The role needs someone mechanically biased, organised and confident enough to sit in weekly client DTM meetings, understand what is being discussed and make sensible decisions rather than just taking notes and passing everything upwards.
