Infrastructure Construction Oversight: Supervise site installations of MV/LV substations, transformers, switchgear, ring main units (RMUs), package substations, and cable routing networks.
Technical Compliance: Ensure all electrical engineering designs and field installations strictly adhere to project specifications, Saudi Electric Company (SEC) standards, HCIS regulations (where applicable), and international codes (IEC, IEEE, NEC).
Equipment Inspection & Testing: Lead technical evaluations for critical electrical equipment procurement and witness factory acceptance tests (FAT) and site acceptance tests (SAT) for switchgear and transformers.
Interface & Coordination: Collaborate directly with civil, mechanical, and ELV automation teams to ensure spatial coordination, containment compliance, and seamless power provisioning for MEP systems.
