He/She represents TIA on-site and ensures safety, compliance, and the achievement of expected performance. His/Her main activities are as follows:

  • Prepare interventions: analyze contractual performance, specifications, P&ID, plans, technical files, and functional analyses; establish the commissioning schedule, checklists, test protocols, and requirements for tools, parts, PPE, and documentation.
  • Control site preparation: verify the availability of utilities and the compliance of the installed equipment compared to approved documents; establish and follow up on the punch list.
  • Supervise and coordinate on-site operations with the client, subcontractors, suppliers, and TIA teams, in compliance with the commissioning schedule with the help of the project manager.
  • Perform preliminary tests: mechanical and hydraulic checks, leak tests, instrumentation and safety controls, input-output tests with the automation engineer, flushing, and automation tests in water.
