8. Testing, Commissioning & Handover

• Coordinate pre-commissioning, testing and commissioning (T&C), and cleanroom certification activities, including airflow verification, pressure cascade checks, particle counts and recovery testing, as applicable to the project.
• Ensure timely submission of as-built drawings, operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals, test records, certifications and complete handover documentation.

9. Team Leadership & Reporting

• Lead site engineers, planners, supervisors and other project personnel.
• Build team capability and mentor employees as the Semiconductor & Pharma Vertical expands.
• Provide clear weekly and monthly reports to vertical leadership covering progress, schedule performance, risks, cash flow, commercial matters and client feedback.

10. Alignment with SOCH & Listenlights Core Values

Demonstrate Listenlights’ SOCH principles and core values through everyday project leadership:

• Client and team availability: Remain accessible and responsive to the client and project team.
