Key responsibilities

• Interface with electrical engineering consultants to progress and review key deliverables including load lists, cable schedules, single line diagrams, switchboards/MCCs, and electrical design packages.
• Provide site-based engineering support during construction by responding to RFIs, coordinating design clarifications, and resolving technical issues with contractors and consultants.
• Plan and manage temporary construction power (gensets, temporary distribution boards, changeover/ATS arrangements, earthing, lighting towers) and coordinate the transition to permanent supplies.
• Develop and coordinate workshop and building electrical designs, including LV distribution, lighting plans, small power, outlets, welding bays, compressors and wash bay interfaces.
• Produce practical deliverables suitable for pricing and construction: drawings, bills of material (BOMs), bills of quantities (BoQs), take-offs, cable schedules, and scope documentation.
