The NOC Engineer is responsible for many NOC projects. The duties of the NOC Engineer vary, depending on the project.
On-site team development. A NOC project may require developing an on-site team that will perform the tasks of the project as part of a regular NOC Engineer’s work. The responsibilities for this task may vary. But generally the NOC Engineer is responsible for carrying out design work that will help achieve the mission of the organization.
Design work.
All projects require design work to be carried out in order to achieve a mission or goal. This is work that is integrated into the overall development of the project.
Process improvement.
All projects have certain parts of the process that are in need of improvement. In order to deliver a project successfully, a NOC Engineer needs to have the ability to identify and design improvements to those areas of the process where the development is needed.
Project management.
A NOC Engineer is expected to work closely with management to ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget. The role of the NOC Engineer can be done by the management or the engineering team, depending on the project. Typically, the NOC Engineer will ensure that each team works as a single unit, and that they achieve the necessary synergy to make the project a success.
Production and installation.
Most projects will involve a change to a process, or an increase in production, or an increase in the quality of production. The requirements for the production and installation for these projects vary. This responsibility can be delegated to the engineer who will ensure that the design of the process is suitable for the new production or to the engineering team, depending on the requirements.
Project management.
These are separate from the operations of the project and involve managing all aspects of the project, ensuring that the project gets done on time and within budget. The NOC Engineer has many responsibilities in relation to the success of the project. Typically, the engineer has responsibility for the overall success of the project, including information on the budget, schedule, progress, status, and methods of communication.
Technical analysis.
A NOC project may require a specialist to perform the technical analysis of the process. This is a process that helps determine the factors that influence the process. The NOC Engineer will be involved in the process analysis, but they will also have responsibility for communication with the client.
People management.
All projects require human interaction between the various teams, and the NOC Engineer is responsible for managing people in the team.
Project documentation.
The NOC Engineer is responsible for ensuring that the project documentation is accurate and that it contains all necessary information that is required to complete the project.
Program implementation.
All projects require an implementation phase, and this phase is the phase of the project where the real work begins. Typically, the NOC Engineer will perform the first phase of the project (this could include design, prototype and design verification), before the first implementation stage begins.
In the event of any difficulties during the project, the NOC Engineer will be involved in the initiation of the project. The responsibilities of the NOC Engineer are so wide and varied that it is sometimes hard to know where to start. In most cases, a brief discussion with management or the project team will help make the right decisions.
