The work includes design, procurement assistance, inspection, construction‑management, value‑engineering, and condition‑assessment services for container‑handling cranes, rail‑mounted gantry cranes, mobile cranes, and related heavy‑lift equipment.

• Deliver value‑engineering studies, cost estimates, and project‑management reporting via JPA’s E‑Builder system.
• Must maintain required certifications (FL PE license, TWIC, E‑Verify, professional liability insurance, etc.) and comply with maritime security training.
