Electrical Engineer

Job Summary

A Site Electrical Engineer directly oversees the day-to-day installation, execution, and supervision of electrical works on a construction site. While a design engineer works in an office and a QA/QC engineer focuses strictly on compliance, the site engineer is physically on the ground managing labor, progress, and immediate problem-solving.

• Manage site materials, tools, and equipment to prevent shortages or damage.

Progress Monitoring and Reporting

• Track daily progress against the master construction schedule.
• Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly progress reports for the project manager.
• Identify potential delays and implement recovery plans to keep work on track.
• Measure completed quantities of work for subcontractor payment verifications

Technical Coordination

• Resolve day-to-day technical issues and clashes with civil or mechanical layouts.
• Raise Requests for Information (RFIs) to the design team when drawings lack clarity.
• Coordinate with the site surveyor to establish accurate reference points for equipment placement.
• Assist the procurement team by raising material requisitions based on site needs.

Safety and Quality Control

• Enforce strict site safety protocols to prevent electrical and construction hazards.
• Conduct daily toolbox talks with the workforce regarding safe working practices.
• Coordinate with the QA/QC team to raise Inspection Requests (IRs) for completed works.
• Ensure all installations comply with the project specifications and approved method statements

Testing and Handover

• Support the testing and commissioning team during the final startup of electrical systems.
• Mark up red-line drawings on site to reflect the exact "As-Built" conditions.
• Help clear punch list items to secure final handing over certificates from the consultant.
