Data Integrity and Reporting Validation - Define and validate key BIMO data elements needed for inspection activities, documentation, and oversight reporting.
- Review data definitions and data quality rules to ensure they support traceability, data integrity, and inspection readiness expectations.
- Review reporting and dashboard outputs for accuracy, completeness, and regulatory alignment, and confirm they are meaningful for inspection planning and oversight.
Documentation, Testing, and Training Support - Support documentation of BIMO processes, requirements, and expected outputs in clear, inspection ready language.
- Participate in user acceptance testing by validating that outputs and workflow behavior align with BIMO business rules and inspection expectations.
- Assist in developing training content and reference materials for end users, focused on compliant use and inspection ready practices.
