- Mark up site changes clearly for draftsman update.
- Raise RFIs where drawings are incomplete, conflicting, or not buildable.
- Support preparation of site sketches, redlines, as built inputs, and technical clarification notes.
- Ensure all site fixes are traceable and properly documented.
QA/QC, Testing, and Handover Support
- Prepare and support WIRs, MIRs, ITPs, checklists, inspection records, and consultant inspections.
- Verify material approvals before installation.
- Support electrical testing activities, including continuity, insulation resistance, earthing, polarity, labeling, torque checks, and pre energization checks where applicable.
- Track snags, inspection comments, NCRs, and closure actions.
- Support handover documentation, as built drawings, test records, certificates, O&M manuals, and system completion files.
Reporting and Coordination
- Prepare daily progress reports showing completed works, manpower, materials, blockers, risks, next actions, and photo evidence.
- Attend site coordination meetings and provide clear updates.
- Track open issues and push closure with subcontractors and internal teams.
- Escalate critical risks early, especially where electrical works affect HVAC, BMS, commissioning, energization, or handover.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
- 5 to 10 years of electrical site experience in MEP projects.
- Experience in data centers, telecom facilities, critical infrastructure, industrial buildings, hospitals, airports, or technical facilities is preferred.

- Reading SLDs, load schedules, cable schedules, layouts, shop drawings, and coordination drawings.
- Electrical interface coordination with HVAC, BMS, fire alarm, ELV, and mechanical systems.
- Inspection documentation including WIRs, MIRs, ITPs, RFIs, NCRs, and snag tracking.
- MS Office proficiency.
- AutoCAD drawing review ability. AutoCAD editing is an advantage.
Candidate Profile
- Practical and site driven.
- Strong in coordination and follow up.
- Able to manage subcontractors and push closure.
- Clear in reporting.
