3. Manage the production of fit-for-purpose discipline-related design deliverables that define and preserve
the design intent and are organised and align with the plant configuration, as appropriate.
4. Ensure the design solution is able to be manufactured, constructed, commissioned, handed over, put
into operation, maintained and decommissioned, and that Life Time Records are delivered.
5. Ensure all discipline-related technical, safety and engineering risks are identified, owned and managed
6. Define and execute a discipline-specific risk based assurance strategy and call appropriate engineering
or design reviews, with appropriate independence, in a timely manner.
7. Support the PEM in providing engineering design support to work scope definition throughout
procurement, construction and commissioning project phases.

application of the EDSPs), security, environmental and site licence conditions, and that deliverables and
solutions generated are adequately underpinned.
11. Ensure all team members are aware of, understand and appropriately apply relevant legislation, SL and
project / area specific policies, procedures and design issues and this is tested through assurance and
oversight.
Requirements Management:
12. Coordinate discipline-related input to the derivation of requirements and capabilities for Areas, Systems
and Products, along with the associated conditions, constraints and validation.
13. Coordinate discipline-related input to product verification planning and evaluation.
Cost and Schedule:
14. Develop and update cost and time estimates for delivery of the discipline-related design solution.
15. Lead the development and control of the discipline-related elements of the project / task baseline scope,
schedule and budget using the change control process.
