Coordinate RAMS support during design, installation, integration, V&V, Factory/Site Acceptance Testing, Testing & Commissioning, trial operation, and operational acceptance, ensuring that identified RAMS requirements are implemented and demonstrated. Provide immediate RAMS support for site deviations, design modifications, test failures, temporary configurations, interface issues, and technical non-conformities, assessing their potential impact on RAM and Safety requirements.
