Project Management & Execution

Take complete ownership of assigned electrical projects from kick-off, engineering and procurement through construction, testing, commissioning, energization, handover, and closeout. Prepare and implement the Project Execution Plan (PEP) in accordance with contractual requirements and company procedures. Establish execution strategies, project priorities, construction sequences, manpower requirements, equipment requirements, and site logistics. Ensure projects are completed safely, on schedule, within approved budget, and according to contractual and technical requirements. Lead multidisciplinary project teams and ensure effective coordination between Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Planning, QA/QC, HSE, Commercial, and Finance functions. Identify project bottlenecks early and implement corrective and recovery actions.

Electrical Technical Management

Provide technical and execution leadership for electrical works including, as applicable: MV/LV power distribution systems. Substations and electrical rooms. Transformers. MV/LV switchgear. Motor Control Centers (MCCs). Distribution boards and panel boards. Cable trays, ladders, conduits, trenches, and duct banks. Cable pulling, dressing, glanding, and termination. Earthing and grounding systems. Lightning protection systems. Indoor and outdoor lighting systems. Emergency lighting. Generator and emergency power systems. Electrical interfaces with mechanical equipment. Control and instrumentation interfaces where applicable. Electrical infrastructure and utility works. Review and understand single-line diagrams, load schedules, cable schedules, electrical layouts, schematics, equipment data sheets, technical specifications, BOQs, IFC drawings, shop drawings, and vendor drawings. Ensure electrical installations comply with approved designs, applicable codes, client specifications, manufacturer requirements, and project standards.

Engineering Coordination

Coordinate with engineering teams for timely preparation, review, submission, and approval of electrical engineering deliverables. Monitor IFC drawings, shop drawings, material submittals, technical queries, RFIs, method statements, calculations, and vendor documents. Review engineering deliverables from a constructability and execution perspective. Identify discrepancies between drawings, specifications, BOQs, vendor requirements, and actual site conditions. Ensure technical issues are resolved before they affect construction progress. Coordinate electrical interfaces with Civil, Structural, Mechanical, HVAC, Plumbing, Instrumentation, Telecom, and other disciplines. Manage design changes and ensure their schedule and commercial impacts are properly documented.

Planning & Project Controls

Coordinate development of the project baseline schedule, WBS, milestones, engineering schedule, procurement schedule, construction schedule, manpower histogram, equipment plan, and testing/commissioning schedule. Review daily, weekly, and monthly project progress. Monitor actual progress against approved baseline schedules. Review critical-path activities, look-ahead schedules, productivity, manpower utilization, material availability, and project forecasts. Identify delays and prepare appropriate catch-up/recovery schedules. Ensure accurate preparation of weekly and monthly progress reports. Monitor engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning milestones as an integrated project schedule.

Procurement & Vendor Management

Coordinate electrical procurement requirements with Procurement and Engineering teams. Monitor preparation and approval of material requisitions, technical bid evaluations, purchase orders, vendor drawings, and material submittals. Pay particular attention to long-lead electrical equipment such as transformers, switchgear, MCCs, generators, UPS systems, and specialized panels. Monitor manufacturing, inspection, FAT, shipment, delivery, and site availability against project requirements. Ensure procurement activities remain aligned with construction priorities. Coordinate with suppliers and manufacturers regarding technical clarifications and delivery issues. Ensure delivered materials comply with approved specifications and project requirements.

Construction & Site Management

Lead site execution of all electrical construction activities. Ensure adequate manpower, tools, equipment, materials, access, and work fronts are available. Monitor subcontractor and site-team productivity. Coordinate daily construction priorities with site engineers, supervisors, planning, QA/QC, and HSE teams. Ensure installations are completed according to approved drawings, method statements, specifications, and inspection requirements. Resolve site constraints and technical issues promptly. Monitor material utilization and prevent unnecessary wastage or rework. Ensure proper coordination of electrical works with other disciplines before installation.

Subcontractor Management

Participate in technical and commercial evaluation of electrical subcontractors. Review subcontractor scope and ensure clear understanding of responsibilities and exclusions. Monitor subcontractor mobilization, manpower, productivity, progress, quality, and safety performance. Conduct regular subcontractor progress meetings. Verify subcontractor quantities and completed work before certification. Ensure subcontractors comply with contractual obligations and project requirements. Take corrective action when subcontractor performance falls below required standards.

Cost Control & Commercial Management

Maintain control over project budget, committed cost, actual cost, forecast cost, cash flow, and profitability. Coordinate closely with Cost Control and Commercial teams. Monitor manpower costs, material costs, equipment costs, subcontractor costs, and productivity. Review BOQ quantities and actual executed quantities. Identify additional or out-of-scope works before execution wherever possible. Prepare and support variation orders, change orders, additional-work claims, extension-of-time claims, and cost-impact assessments. Ensure proper records are maintained to support commercial claims. Review client progress invoices/payment applications. Verify subcontractor progress claims. Protect Petroraq's contractual and commercial interests throughout the project.
