• Coordinate electrical scope across fab, subfab, utility, support, and site infrastructure areas.
• Resolve design, installation, field coordination, and system integration challenges throughout construction.
• Act as an Owner representative when reviewing electrical design packages, equipment submittals, RFIs, and contractor deliverables.
• Provide input to Architect and Engineer teams regarding site wide electrical infrastructure, constructability, routing, sequencing, and execution strategy.
• Review electrical design specifications and installation requirements.
• Assist in establishing major electrical routing strategies for the facility.
• Coordinate with CSA, mechanical, process, BIM, VDC, and construction teams to resolve multidisciplinary conflicts.
• Participate in 3D model reviews, clash detection sessions, constructability reviews, and installation planning meetings.
• Review electrical equipment space requirements, access, maintenance clearances, and installation routing.
• Participate in constructability reviews with field teams to optimize sequencing, installation methods, and schedule performance.
• Review scopes of work and requests for proposals for major electrical construction packages.
• Assist with contractor bid evaluations, scope reviews, technical clarifications, and contractor selection.
• Provide oversight during the transition from engineering design into construction execution.
• Coordinate with the Owner, general contractor, electrical contractors, engineering teams, commissioning teams, QA/QC, and project controls.
• Monitor electrical construction progress and provide technical input on schedule impacts, field constraints, system readiness, and issue resolution.
• Support electrical system energization, startup, commissioning, turnover, and final acceptance.
• Assist in defining system boundaries and turnover packages to support efficient commissioning and facility startup.
• Coordinate base build electrical systems with downstream facility, process, and tool installation requirements where scopes interface.
• Maintain compliance with project safety requirements, NEC, NFPA, OSHA requirements, and applicable electrical codes and standards.
