- Own the Stage 2 project roadmap and schedule, developing the appropriate level of definition to support project goals, timelines, and sound gate decisions.
- Champion project competitiveness through target setting, third party benchmarking, brownfield tool verification, and Front End Loading assessments at the end of Stage 2 and Stage 3.
- Steward project, functional, and discipline specific support, such as fixed equipment, machinery, instrumentation, and electrical, to ensure timely completion of reviews and resolution of technical queries.
- Ensure stakeholder alignment on project objectives, strategies, concept selection, schedule, and cost.
