Health, Safety & Quality (HSEQ)

• Promote and enforce company HSE policies and electrical safety standards.
• Ensure compliance with Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO), Permit-to-Work (PTW), and isolation procedures.
• Conduct toolbox talks, site inspections, and safety observations.
• Identify, report, and follow up on non-conformities and corrective actions.
• Ensure all electrical works comply with project quality requirements and applicable international standards.

Documentation & Reporting

• Review electrical drawings, single line diagrams, cable schedules, and technical specifications.
• Maintain daily site reports, inspection records, testing documentation, and punch lists.
• Monitor construction progress and provide regular progress reports.
• Support preparation of as-built documentation, commissioning records, and project handover packages.
