• Perform data quality checks and resolve inaccuracies or incomplete entries.
• Apply barcode labels and manage the barcoding system for material and construction traceability (depending on the requirement of the project, not always required).
• Coordinate with multiple client stakeholders (construction, QA/QC, survey, etc.) to ensure smooth data flow.
• Assist project teams in generating reports, tracking progress, and delivering updates to clients.
• Participate in review meetings and communicate project status clearly and effectively.
• Maintain digital documentation and assist in document control processes.
• Conduct equipment setup (iPad) and ensure operational readiness at job sites.
• Work in varied physical conditions, including walking, standing, bending, and climbing in outdoor environments.
• Verify project documentation and ensure the completeness of documents as per project requirements.

Qualifications and Experience:

• 2–5 years of experience working on pipeline or facility construction projects, preferably in the field.
• Strong understanding of construction, inspection, and survey documentation on the pipeline prejects.
• Previous experience working with Survey companies (Pipeline survey).
• Previous experience working on Traceability Software will be a plus.
• Technical aptitude with the ability to quickly learn and support specialized software tools.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Willingness to travel to remote client locations and stay for extended durations when needed.

Preferred Skills:

• Familiarity with MS Office tools (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
• Experience with barcode-based tracking systems or inspection management software.
• Understanding of quality control, material traceability, and compliance workflows.
• Valid driver’s license and passport (required for project travel).
