* Verify compliance with project specifications, local authority requirements, and applicable international standards.
* Review engineering calculations, design reports, drawings, specifications, and technical submissions.
* Support value-engineering studies and system-optimization initiatives.
* Assess CCTV coverage, camera placement, functionality, and communication requirements.
* Review variable-message signs, automatic traffic counters, traffic signals, and incident-detection systems.
* Evaluate traffic-monitoring, control-center, and data-collection solutions.
* Coordinate intelligent transportation systems with airport operational platforms.
* Verify communication-network architecture, data exchange, and system interfaces.
* Coordinate technical requirements with roads, civil, electrical, ICT, security, airfield, mechanical, and architectural teams.
* Review multidisciplinary interfaces through BIM and digital-coordination platforms.
* Identify and resolve design clashes, access constraints, and technical conflicts.
* Review contractor shop drawings, material submittals, method statements, and requests for information.

* Witness factory-acceptance and site-acceptance tests.
* Verify system functionality, performance, reliability, and operational readiness.
* Support integrated systems testing with airport operations and connected technologies.
* Coordinate with airport authorities, transportation agencies, consultants, contractors, and utility providers.
* Facilitate technical workshops, approval reviews, and resolution of stakeholder comments.
* Monitor contractor compliance with project-quality requirements.
* Participate in technical inspections, design audits, and quality reviews.
* Prepare engineering reports, review comments, progress updates, and technical recommendations.
* Maintain accurate records of approvals, test results, decisions, and outstanding issues.
* Participate in constructability, operational, safety, and HSE reviews.
* Promote safe engineering and installation practices.
* Support lessons learned and continuous-improvement activities.
