- Evidence of mentoring engineers toward registration, and of holding client relationships through difficult conversations.

Profile B â Delivery Lead / Engineering Manager
- Pr Eng-calibre engineer from a consulting or EPCM environment who has owned delivery governance: design review gates, deliverable registers, commercial assurance on contracts.

- Commissioning completions (plural) and a claims/variations record you can narrate in detail.
- Ran a self-contained package or area on a major project with your own commercial authority, or was the senior bench of a 20â50 person consultancy.

- QA review gate on the water-audit product within six months of starting.

Practice building
- Standards, templates, standard details and design tools that become the firm's reference library.
- Formal ECSA mentorship for candidate engineers; a named development path for every engineer in your team.

Commercial and delivery assurance

- Client trust-holding at senior level: difficult progress meetings, defending design decisions, delivering bad news early.
