• Apply general understanding of all application types and directives to ensure consistency and aide with recommendations on SOCAR documents.
• Respond to internal, industry and public queries about the SOCAR process and/or requirements. Present SOC Disposition Memo background and details to AER internal committees in support of Statutory Decision Makers (SDMs).
• Perform all SOC Assessor duties as required based on work volumes and backup coverage.
• Provide training, coaching and presentations for industry and AER Groups on regulatory requirements as it pertains to the SOC Process, as applicable.

What we're looking for in you:
