Key Responsibilities/Accountabilities

• Technical Vetting and Quality Control

  • Timely Escalation of critical issues pre-takeover to management to enable informed decisions.

  • Pre-Handover Audits: Conduct comprehensive on-site inspections and technical audits of new and upgraded assets well in advance of the planned handover date.

  • Asset Verification: Verify the installation quality, functionality, and performance of all critical equipment against project specifications, original design intents, and CoE technical standards.

  • Defect Management (Snagging): Develop, manage, and track the comprehensive punch list (or snag list) of defects, outstanding works, and non-conformances identified during commissioning and pre-takeover inspections.

  • Resolution Tracking: Work directly with contractors and project managers to ensure all identified defects are remediated to the required technical standard and closed out before final operational acceptance.

  • Compliance Check: Confirm that all necessary regulatory certifications, permits, and third-party safety approvals have been secured and are valid for the date of asset transfer.

• Documentation and Data Integrity

  • Documentation Review: Rigorously review and approve all final project documentation, including As-Built drawings, Operation and Maintenance (O&M) manuals, technical data sheets, and warranty certificates.

  • Data Quality Assurance: Ensure the digital asset register is complete, accurate, and aligned with the physical assets installed, ready to support efficient maintenance planning from day one.

  • Ensure complete archiving of documents and communications

• Project Liaison and Operational Readiness

  • Liaison: Act as the primary technical interface between the Project Delivery team and the Operational Maintenance team during the final phases of construction and commissioning.

  • Training Coordination: Coordinate and validate the quality of technical training provided by contractors to the operations and maintenance staff on new systems and complex equipment.

  • Warranties and Guarantees: Manage the formal documentation and activation of all asset warranties and performance guarantees, ensuring clear handover of responsibilities and support contacts to the operations team.

Knowledge & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or a related technical discipline).
• Minimum of 4-6 years of experience in technical roles, with significant exposure to construction, commissioning, quality assurance, or facilities management, specifically involving asset handover.

• Deep practical knowledge of multi-disciplinary engineering systems (e.g., HVAC, BMS, LV/MV systems).

• Proficiency in reading and interpreting complex engineering schematics and project documentation.

• Demonstrated experience working with CMMS/EAM systems (e.g., Maximo, SAP PM) and understanding asset data structures
