Discipline SMEs (Subject Matter Experts)

Each major discipline to have a nominated SME who coordinates all discipline activities with the Admin Lead and other SMEs. This may include a Catalogue and Spec SME who performs the specific task of servicing the Discipline SMEs with skills for this specialist area. The SME should have a high level of expertise at a User level with a firm understanding of the principles of projects. If the project is Global it is still suggested that a single SME is nominated for each discipline in order to maintain a common project approach.

Depending on project scale and level of discipline activity, within the team of Discipline users there should be trusted senior users who can stand-in for the SME in the event of absence.

For Discipline specific issues this role should be in touch with a discipline SME counterpart in AVEVA Support.

This is a part-time role on the project. Activity intensity on specific issues will vary with the project schedule. At project start it is most likely to be a virtually full-time role for the opening weeks, moving to an irregular pattern of high and low workloads to be balanced with the primary role of engineering and/or design on the project.
