This position bridges the gap between the Project Manager and technical site execution, supporting project delivery within scope, on schedule, and to the highest quality standards.

Furthermore, the Site Engineer coordinates and directly oversees the deployment of technical teams and subcontractors. The site engineer is responsible for the Testing and Commissioning activities, as instructed by the Project Manager, and supporting the Technical Team.

A primary function of this role is supervising the installation, integration, and configuration of diverse IT and ELV systems.
