- Review Contractor's response to Technical Requirements to ensure client requirements are correctly included.
- Prepare project-specific technical requirements as needed.
- Attend project meetings as required.
- Participate in procurement strategy for technical work packages (pre-qualification, contractor selection, technical scope).
- Produce regular Design Assurance Reports as planned by PM to ensure technical alignment.
- Identify value engineering opportunities.
- Ensure key client EHS and GMP compliance requirements are reflected in design deliverables.
- Attend EHS risk assessments to ensure alignment with client EHS requirements and include mitigations in design.
- Provide technical guidance to Package Owner teams.
- Ensure technical solutions are consistent with client, cost, and schedule requirements.
- Provide input to project planning.
- Review other packages as needed.
- Review BMS description of operation (from Electrical).
- Review EMS URS (from Electrical).
- Support development of redundancy strategy and maintenance philosophy.
- Review and input to Sustainability Checklist.
- Respond to construction queries when Design Contractor cannot provide answers.
Critical Items (SHE Critical - Systems: Pressure vessels & Fire suppression system)
- Work with Design Contractor to develop design, translating client technical requirements into engineering deliverables.
- Review Design Contractor enquiry specifications and participate in bid review/selection.
- Review all documentation (drawings & calculations) within scope to ensure correct interpretation of client requirements.
- Review and approve FAT & SAT protocols as required.
- Attend relevant FATs, mechanical completion inspections, and SATs to assure completeness and correctness.
- Review pressure vessel calculations and complete PV documentation.
- Review fire suppression system.
GMP Critical Items (Clean room HVAC & Clean Utilities)
- Prepare User Requirement Specifications (URS) for each GMP system, ensuring completeness (GMP, GEP, EHS) and technical correctness for C&Q execution.
- Champion timely engagement, review, and approval of URSs with client customer team.
- Review Design Contractor enquiry specifications and participate in bid review/selection.
- Review all documentation (drawings & calculations) within GMP scope.
- Work with Design Contractor to develop design, translating technical requirements into deliverables.
- Review containment philosophy.
- Review room classification, GMP zoning, and room data sheets.
- Review and approve FAT, SAT, DQ, IQ, and OQ protocols as required.
- Attend pre-FATs, FATs, mechanical completion inspections, and SATs to assure completeness and correctness.
- Provide technical support to Commissioning & Qualification (C&Q) activities.
