• Monitor progress across multidisciplinary teams and help resolve technical and project challenges.
• Provide clear and regular project status updates to internal stakeholders and customers.
• Manage technical requirements, specifications, and engineering changes throughout the project lifecycle.
• Contribute to design reviews and key project milestones, ensuring high-quality technical deliverables.
• Work closely with customers, partners, and internal teams to develop effective technical solutions and achieve programme commitments.
