• University degree in Mechanical Engineering, Piping, Electrical or Control Systems (Instrumentation).
• Previous on-site experience as part of the owner's team, technically validating the installation of piping, mechanical equipment, or pumping stations.
• Participation in industrial or mining projects, preferably in water treatment plants, booster systems, or medium/long-distance pipeline networks.
• Ability to interpret and validate on-site execution according to plans, technical sheets, manufacturer manuals, and design criteria.
• Knowledge in reviewing technical and quality control documentation (QA/QC).
• Technical criteria to identify deviations and collaborate in their resolution without compromising safety or operational performance.
• Desirable experience in pre-commissioning, commissioning, or start-up phases.
• Domination of basic engineering tools for review (AutoCAD, reading P&ID, technical specifications).
• Ability to interpret engineering models and analyses from software and technical systems of the contractor.
• Current driver's license with at least 5 years of experience.
• Technical English desirable for reading and understanding specialized documentation.

Your work environment:

• You will work on-site, in close collaboration with contractors and technical team specialists.
• You will be part of a highly specialized senior team.
• Fixed-term contract (12 months), with the possibility of extension according to project needs.
• The work regime is 14 days of work followed by 7 days of rest, in a day shift.
• The project is located between 3,000 and 4,000 m above sea level, so good health and physical condition are required.
