COURSE OVERVIEW:

The ability to translate complex technical requirements into clear, legally enforceable documents is a fundamental skill for engineering professionals involved in procurement and project execution. This course provides a comprehensive framework for writing technical specifications and Scopes of Work (SOW), focusing on the elimination of ambiguity to prevent project disputes and cost overruns. It addresses the strategic importance of defining "Performance" versus "Design" requirements to ensure that engineering deliverables align perfectly with organizational needs.

The scope of this training encompasses the structural development of the "Technical Specification" package, the drafting of "Functional Requirements," and the mastery of "Standardized Engineering Language." Participants will learn how to distinguish between "Must," "Shall," and "Should" terminology while implementing "Quality Acceptance Criteria" for every deliverable. The course provides practical tools for managing "Interface Requirements," "Regulatory Compliance," and the integration of "International Standards" (ISO, ASME, API) into the project documentation.

Coverage includes the analysis of "Performance-Based SOWs," the implementation of "Review and Approval" workflows, and the execution of "Risk-Based Requirement Analysis." Attendees will explore the legal implications of poorly written specifications and learn how to utilize "Templates" to drive consistency across multi-disciplinary engineering teams. By mastering specification and SOW writing, engineers will be able to provide the clarity required for successful tendering, minimize technical queries from vendors, and ensure the operational integrity of the final project assets.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Design a structured and professional "Scope of Work" (SOW) document.
• Draft "Technical Specifications" that are clear, concise, and unambiguous.
• Distinguish between "Performance," "Design," and "Functional" specifications.
• Apply correct "Engineering Terminology" and "Mandatory Language" (Shall vs. Will).
• Establish measurable "Acceptance Criteria" for technical deliverables.
• Integrate "International Codes and Standards" into project specifications.
• Manage "Interface and Boundary" definitions between different disciplines.
• Identify and mitigate "Contractual Risks" through precise technical writing.
• Utilize "Standard Templates" to enhance organizational document consistency.
• Facilitate "Technical Review Cycles" and manage stakeholder feedback.
• Draft "Safety and Environmental" requirements for engineering packages.
• Review and audit "Vendor Responses" against the original specification.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Project Engineers, Design Leads, Procurement Specialists, Technical Writers, and Maintenance Engineers.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
