S c o p e o f Wo r k
Mechanical Engineer provide solutions to development
of processes and products, ranging from small
component to extremely large plant, machinery or
vehicles.
[ construction industry : HVAC]

Electrical Engineer work on

development of lighting and
communication systems.

What do they do?

Before Construction
- Implementing cost-effective equipment modifications.
(help improve safety and reliability)
- Developing and evaluating theoretical designs.
- Research, analyze, planning (mathematical modeling ).
- Recommending modifications following prototype test
results. (Design & Experimenting )

During Construction
Monitoring

and

commissioning

Direct
and
coordinate
manufacturing, construction,
installation and maintenance
activities.

systems.

After Construction
Make sure a system can function
again reliably and will perform
consistently
in
specified
operating environments.
Inspect complete installations and
observe operations, ensure operational
compliance (teamwork).
