• Estimate upgrade costs, assist in developing capital plans, and support tender documentation and specifications.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on energy audits, depreciation reports, and building renewal plans.
• Review and coordinate architectural, mechanical, and structural drawings to ensure cohesive integration with electrical systems.
