    • Incident Investigation & Reporting: In the event of an electrical safety incident or near miss, lead detailed investigations, prepare formal reports, and implement corrective measures to prevent future occurrences.
    • Electrical Systems Safety Reviews: Ensure that all high-voltage electrical systems and equipment are reviewed for safety compliance prior to energization or commissioning, addressing any identified deficiencies immediately.
  1. ProjectExecutionSupport&Commissioning Interface
    • Commissioning Phase Energy Management: Collaborate closely with commissioning teams to manage energy systems' integration into the facility, ensuring smooth and safe energization, startup, and testing processes.
    • Scheduling & Coordination: Lead the coordination of electrical shutdowns, power-ups, and system transitions between the construction and commissioning phases, ensuring minimal disruption to project timelines.
    • Electrical Systems Troubleshooting: Serve as the technical expert in diagnosing and troubleshooting electrical system issues that may arise during construction or commissioning, working in tandem with electrical contractors and engineers.
