Develop Commissioning and Acceptance Plans: Create and ensure the implementation of commissioning and acceptance plans for all projects requiring commissioning or acceptance.
Provide Training and Information: Supply the necessary information, instructions, and training to operations and maintenance teams for commissioned systems and equipment.
Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) Involvement: Ensure that operations, maintenance personnel, and Commissioning Duly Appointed Persons (DAPs) are involved in witnessing FATs.
