Perform site assessments and technical evaluations for overhead and underground distribution projects as required.
Prepare scopes of work, cost estimates, feasibility studies, and technical reports to support project planning and decision-making.
Ensure all work aligns with organizational health and safety practices and supports a strong safety culture.
