  • Maintain required safety-related documentation on the project site, including, but not limited to, safety orientation training, Job Hazard Analyses (JHA), SDSs, pre-task assessments, and toolbox talk summaries.
  • Participate in daily pre-shift coordination meetings to include review of the day's activities and associated hazards.
  • Review and comment on the General Contractor's JHAs with project trades and obtain signatures prior to commencement of work.
  • Conduct daily site inspections, focusing on work site orderliness and compliance with safety procedures and protocols. Proposed corrections of safety deviations will be discussed with the General Contractor's Safety Manager, and support will be provided for implementing corrective actions.
  • Issue daily site observation reports for each site inspection.
  • Review electrical work packages, switching procedures, lockout/tagout plans, commissioning procedures, and energized work planning documents.
  • Observe electrical installation, testing, startup, commissioning, and energization activities, providing independent owner oversight of hazard controls and safe work practices.
  • Review contractor compliance with electrical safety requirements, including arc flash protection, shock protection boundaries, grounding practices, temporary power management, and lockout/tagout programs.
  • Participate in pre-task planning meetings and risk assessments for electrical work, commissioning activities, and system energizations.
  • Support verification of electrical isolation boundaries and energy control processes during construction, commissioning, and startup activities. Provide subject matter expertise on electrical safety requirements and industry best practices, including OSHA, NFPA 70E, and client-specific standards.
  • Support investigation and documentation of electrical incidents, near misses, and significant safety observations.

REQUIREMENTS

  • 10+ years of field experience supporting electrical construction, commissioning, startup, electrical safety programs, or industrial/manufacturing construction projects.

  • Experience with Microsoft Office suite of software (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams). Ability to multitask, maintain flexibility, travel, and work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Ability to provide excellent project delivery and client service, quality on project deliverables, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to organize and coordinate field personnel, subcontractors, and vendors.
  • Demonstrated experience with electrical hazard recognition, lockout/tagout, arc flash risk mitigation, temporary power systems, electrical commissioning, and startup activities.
  • Strong working knowledge of NFPA 70E, OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926 electrical requirements, electrical safe work practices, and energy isolation programs.
  • Experience supporting medium- and low-voltage electrical systems, switchgear, substations, motor control centers (MCCs), UPS systems, backup power systems, or similar infrastructure.
  • Experience serving as an owner's representative, commissioning safety advisor, electrical safety professional, or equivalent role on large capital projects.
  • Relevant certifications such as NFPA 70E training, CESCP, CHST, CSP, Electrical Safety Compliance Professional (ESCP), licensed electrician, or equivalent credentials are highly desirable.
