* Generate design documentation, change definition and change justifications. Record knowledge gained in company 'wiki' systems.
* Understand the challenges of working with legacy equipment designed and built over half a century ago and combining it with cutting-edge technology.
* Interact with Project Management functions and participate fully in the generation of plans and monitoring of their progress.
* Perform analytical assessment of the site in terms of FMEA; reliability analysis; etc.
* Review telemetry and data gathered from operational equipment to understand performance.
* Propose and justify spares inventories for new and legacy equipment.
