A Day in the Life of an iGAS Project Engineer
Meet Ashiq, one of our Project Engineers at iGAS.
We asked him what a typical working day looks like.
“Every day is different. It is a combination of engineering, project management, client communication, coordination, documentation, problem-solving and, most importantly, keeping multiple projects moving in the right direction.”
Ashiq starts his working day with what he calls his “focusing mode.”
“I go through my emails, review my to-do list, check project priorities, look at outstanding actions and identify what needs to be completed first.”
What technical tasks might you work on during a normal day?
“I may be preparing technical documentation, reviewing P&IDs, responding to client queries, coordinating with the design, electrical and controls departments, or discussing project direction, plans and requirements with the Project Director.”
What projects are you currently working on?
“Currently, one of my main projects is a packaged gas filling plant being installed in Saudi Arabia”
Ashiq is also working on a CO₂ pump upgrade project in Aberdeen, giving him experience with projects at different stages.
Who do you typically collaborate with?
“I regularly work with the design, electrical, controls and project management teams, along with Project Directors, clients, suppliers and site teams.”
For Ashiq, being a Project Engineer is about much more than engineering alone.
It is about keeping projects, people and information moving in the right direction.
