Construction Installation Assistant Jobs (NOW HIRING)

A Snapshot of Your Day
In this role, you will serve as the primary point of contact for all project matters related to construction, installation, and commissioning throughout the full project execution phase. You act as the central interface for project and sub-project management while also functioning as the link between the project and team managers. Until the full site team joins - such as the site project manager, site manager business admin, construction manager, electrical construction manager, and commissioning manager - you temporarily assume their responsibilities and transition them after the project kick-off. You manage inquiries across planning, construction, installation, test-field activities, and commissioning, coordinating with other experts to ensure timely, accurate responses and consistent project support. You provide early feedback, outline options when issues fall outside of installation and commissioning and oversee related accounting and concurrent costing handover when applicable. Within the Grid Technologies (GT) business area, you coordinate RFQ/DOR topics with headquarters and regional units and support the preparation of installation-related contract documents. During the bid phase, you or the specialist bid manager assist with technical clarifications and documentation for testing, installation, and commissioning. You also support project scheduling by critically reviewing schedules, recommending optimizations, clarifying details as the project evolves, and coordinating required resources.
