• Perform calculations for equipment sizing and system validation
• Partner with designers to ensure equipment meets form, fit, and function expectations

• Support Project Managers to deliver projects on time, on budget, and beyond expectations
• Track project scope, costs, and timelines—ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
