- Review and approve Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS), and electrical risk assessments
- Conduct regular site inspections, audits of the electrical installations and works.
- Participate in incident investigations, root cause analyses, and implementation of corrective actions
- Coordinate electrical interfaces with tunnelling, shaft construction, ground treatment, soil processing, marine operations, and other project disciplines.
- Develop and monitor electrical work plans, schedules, resource requirements, and procurement activities.
- Ensure adequate temporary power distribution systems are installed, maintained, and adapted to evolving project needs.
- Act as the primary technical authority and point of contact for all project electrical matters.
- Ensure electrical installations comply with project specifications, applicable codes, standards, and engineering requirements.
- Verify completion of inspections, testing, commissioning, and acceptance procedures.
- Review and approve electrical shop drawings, technical submittals, method statements, and material specifications.
- Monitor quality performance of subcontractors and suppliers and implement corrective actions where required.
- Ensure deficiencies, non-conformances, and punch list items are identified, tracked, and resolved.
- Coordinate factory acceptance tests (FAT), site acceptance tests (SAT), commissioning, and system integration activities.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives and lessons learned processes.
- Ensure daily pre-start is performed on site and recorded in the server.
- Maintain complete and accurate electrical project records.
- Review and manage electrical drawings, revisions, technical queries, design changes, and document control processes.
- Ensure all electrical documentation is current and reflects field conditions.
- Get daily reports from site team, staff and workers presence and hours done and tasks performed each day.
- Get the hourly meters / kWh meters of all equipment on site (electrical meters on generators, substations, etc.)
