• Ensure RAMS, electrical safety rules, and isolation procedures are followed at all times.
• Promote a strong safety culture and challenge unsafe practices on site.
• Support quality inspections and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Liaise with project managers, site supervisors, civil engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers to coordinate electrical scope.
• Support communication with DNOs, ICPs, clients, and third‑party stakeholders.
• Assist in managing programme interfaces between electrical and civil works.

• Proven experience working on DNO and/or ICP electrical infrastructure projects.
• Experience in electrical installation, testing, commissioning, and fault‑finding within utility or infrastructure environments.
• Knowledge of LV and HV distribution networks, substations, and power systems.
• Experience working on live sites with strict safety and operational controls.
• Previous experience coordinating with civil engineering teams is highly desirable.

• Strong understanding of electrical distribution systems, protection, and control.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, schematics, and specifications.
• Familiarity with G81 requirements, DNO standards, and utility‑specific procedures.
• Working knowledge of electrical testing equipment and commissioning processes.
