Electrical Leadman - Modular Buildings

About the role

The Electrical Leadman leads the group of industrial electricians installing large-scale switchgear lines, cable tray pathways, and sophisticated wiring grids. This position bridges the electrical design models with physical field installation to achieve full code compliance and operational readiness.

The Electrical Foreman is accountable for the internal electrical system installation, heavy equipment integration, and wiring within the modular PDC buildings. This role ensures the physical installation of switchgear, MCCs, and containment systems perfectly matches the electrical design and code requirements in the workshop and construction yard.
