5. Manage the cleanliness and organization of the plant area, including the disposal of concrete waste and sludge in accordance with environmental regulations.
6. Participate in the planning and execution of facility upgrades, retrofits, or new plant construction projects.
7. Actively participate in the RFP process and supervise onsite contractors for civil or electromechanical work.
