* Utility provider and electric cooperative requirements

* Other applicable project-specific standards

• Assist in responding to technical comments from the OBO, BFP, LGUs, utility providers, consultants, and other reviewing agencies.

• Prepare technical justifications, reports, letters, and supporting documents for electrical, FDAS, and auxiliary concerns.

5. Documentation & Reporting

• Prepare technical reports, design summaries, issue trackers, coordination logs, and drawing status updates.

• Maintain proper records of drawings, revisions, calculations, permits, technical references, comments, approvals, and coordination documents.

• Document design decisions, site instructions, clarifications, revisions, and approval history.

• Monitor pending technical concerns and coordinate action items with concerned departments.

• Assist in preparing management updates regarding project progress, technical risks, and outstanding electrical issues.
