  for deviations or failures and drive

  corrective/preventive actions (CAPA)

  .
• Monitor gas consumption trends, optimize usage, and ensure cost-effective sourcing.
• Maintain stock levels of cylinders, spare parts, and accessories to avoid line downtime.
• Optimize consumption and minimize wastage through

  leak audits

  ,

  flow tuning

  , and

  line conditioning best practices

  .

Project

• Spearhead the

  design, installation, and commissioning

  of bulk and specialty gas systems for the greenfield facility.
• Review and approve

  PFDs, P&IDs, layouts, hook-up drawings

  , and

  vendor documentation
