- Product improvement: Lead MEPF cost and performance initiatives, including vendor outreach, quote and sample review, shop drawing review, and implementation planning with Procurement.
- Part and material specification: Specify equipment and materials, generate and maintain part numbers, and keep procurement data current as the product changes.
- Cross-discipline coordination: Work daily with Architecture, Structural, the Onshape modeling team, plant operations, and site operations so MEPF scope installs cleanly in the factory and in the field.
