• Supervise subcontractors and site personnel, ensuring work is executed safely and efficiently.
• Identify construction risks, site constraints, and potential schedule impacts, and implement corrective actions where required.
• Ensure compliance with project HSE policies, permit-to-work systems, lifting regulations, working-at-height requirements, and environmental standards.
• Support pre-commissioning and mechanical completion activities prior to handover to commissioning teams.

Requirements

• Diploma or Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in the installation and erection of high-voltage electrical equipment, substations, power transmission, or industrial infrastructure projects.
• Demonstrated experience with HVDC converter stations, HV substations, GIS, AIS, power transformers, reactors, or similar electrical infrastructure is highly preferred.
• Strong knowledge of heavy lifting operations, rigging practices, and equipment installation procedures.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, electrical layouts, assembly schematics, and technical specifications.
• Experience supervising subcontractors, construction crews, and site installation activities.
• Familiarity with QA/QC requirements, mechanical completion processes, and construction documentation.
• Relevant lifting, rigging, high-voltage installation, or electrical trade certifications will be advantageous.
• Excellent communication, coordination, and problem-solving skills.
