• Document as-built configurations, system changes, and lessons learned throughout the implementation lifecycle

• Support the validation of integration protocols, communication standards, and data interfaces across multiple subsystems

• Act as client's technical representative oversight contact, providing regular updates on implementation progress, risks, and technical challenges

• Collaborate with other OT Implementation Consultants on cross-system integration activities and shared technical challenges

• Deep technical expertise in one or more OT domains: BMS, SCADA, ELV systems, ICT networks, IoT platforms, command & control systems, or utilities automation

• Strong understanding of integration protocols, communication standards, and interoperability requirements (e.g., BACnet, Modbus, OPC, MQTT)

• Proven experience managing FAT/SAT processes and commissioning activities for complex OT systems

• Ability to critically review technical specifications and identify constructability, integration, or operational issues

• Experience working at the interface between design teams and construction delivery, translating technical requirements into executable work packages
