• Review load flow, voltage drop, short circuit, arc flash, and protection coordination studies.
• Verify transformer sizing, network capacity, redundancy provisions, and future load allowances.
• Evaluate grounding, bonding, lightning protection, and electrical safety designs.
• Confirm compliance with Saudi Electric Company requirements, project specifications, and applicable IEC, IEEE, NEC, and HCIS standards.
• Review contractor shop drawings, material submittals, method statements, technical queries, and installation procedures.
• Supervise the construction of MV and LV substations, electrical rooms, and package substation facilities.
• Monitor installation of transformers, switch gear, RMUs, distribution boards, protection panels, and control systems
• Inspect underground and above ground cable routes, trenches, ducts, trays, containment, joints, and terminations
• Verify cable identification, segregation, bending radii, support spacing, fire stopping, and testing requirements
• Coordinate civil foundations, structural openings, cable trenches, sleeves, equipment access, and ventilation provisions
• Resolve interface issues with mechanical, ELV, ICT, fire protection, automation, and utility systems
• Evaluate technical bids for transformers, switch gear, RMUs, cables, protection relays, and associated equipment
• Review vendor drawings, data sheets, compliance schedules, test certificates, and technical deviations
• Participate in factory acceptance testing for switch gear, transformers, protection panels, and major electrical equipment
• Witness insulation resistance tests, high voltage tests, relay injection, interlock checks, and functional testing
• Review protection relay settings, coordination curves, trip logic, and communication interfaces
• Verify transformer ratio, winding resistance, insulation, oil, and operational test results where applicable
• Review commissioning procedures, energization plans, switching programs, and electrical safety documentation
• Monitor technical defects, failed tests, non conformances, and corrective actions through final closure
• Prepare engineering reviews, inspection reports, commissioning summaries, and executive progress updates
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical direction to contractors, inspectors, and subcontractors
