- Approve engineering deliverables within your assigned authority once qualified.

Portfolio and project delivery

People and team leadership

- Lead, coach, and develop your team, with a deliberate focus on building capable technical leads who can make decisions and eventually step into your role.

- Set clear expectations, explain the “why” behind priorities, and hold yourself and the team accountable for commitments and behaviours.

- Ensure team members hold the training, qualifications, and authorizations required for their work.

- Lead recruitment, onboarding, performance management, development planning, and succession planning.

Cross-functional and supplier leadership

- Build strong working relationships with project management, construction, operations, maintenance, procurement, and external suppliers.

- Set clear expectations for engineering firms and hold them to standards for quality, schedule, cost, and responsiveness.

- Resolve competing priorities across groups and raise constraints early so they can be solved, not just reported.

Business and performance management

- Manage the team’s budget, forecasts, workload, and resource utilization.

- Track team performance, own the results, and drive corrective action when results fall short.

- Communicate performance, risks, priorities, and recovery plans clearly to senior leadership.
