[ Paperwork ]

As a project reaches the commissioning stage, the role of the pre-commissioning engineer and/or the punch-list manager is to get the kit working, with a strong focus on safe operation.  They may need the close-out paperwork for the role, but not after the kit is operational.  The process engineer just wants to design the next fancy new process solution, not put all the paperwork in place for the old one. 

A ‘project finisher’ role is different: it is all about the paperwork.  It’s the librarian, with quality control knowledge, some contracts expertise, and strong writing skills for the lessons learnt.
