Why this role matters

As an Electrical PV Construction Supervisor, you will play an important role in supervising all PV electrical activities on site, monitoring the physical progress of the works, and reporting status and deviations related to quality, time, cost, and HSSE. You will engage daily with subcontractors' site management teams and perform the same role for the HV electrical scope when required.

During Mechanical Completion and Commissioning, you will be responsible for coordinating activities across disciplines and managing interfaces with contractors and key equipment suppliers involved in the project execution process.

This is a role for someone who wants to combine technical expertise, site leadership, and hands‑on problem‑solving with purpose, learn in a fast‑moving international business, and build experience in one of the world's most relevant industries.

What you’ll be doing

In this role, you will:

• Supervise all PV electrical and communication (SCADA) activities on site, monitoring progress and reporting deviations related to quality, schedule, cost, and HSSE. Oversee the installation of cables, inverters, MV transformers, communication systems, lighting, CCTV, earthing systems, connection boxes, and commissioning activities. Support HV electrical works when required.
• Coordinate Mechanical Completion and Commissioning activities, ensuring effective collaboration between different disciplines, contractors, and key equipment suppliers to achieve safe and timely project delivery.
• Review and approve construction documentation submitted by contractors, including Method Statements and work procedures, coordinating with Engineering and Quality teams to validate technical requirements, material specifications, and component datasheets.
• Lead Pre-Construction Meetings with subcontractors for electrical, communication, and commissioning activities, ensuring all technical, quality, safety, and execution requirements are aligned before work begins.
• Monitor contractors’ daily progress and performance, working closely with the Planning team to evaluate completion forecasts, identify risks, implement recovery measures when necessary, and support quantity surveillance and milestone verification.
• Manage technical queries and construction interfaces with suppliers, the Lead Engineer, and the Electrical Engineer, ensuring all works are executed according to the latest approved drawings, specifications, manuals, and red‑marked documentation.
• Coordinate quality and inspection activities with SSO and Quality Inspectors, supporting audits, witness and hold points, NCR management, corrective action follow‑up, and compliance with project quality requirements.
• Support technical assessments and project close‑out activities, including investigations, due diligence reviews, final inspections, punch list completion, and the preparation and handover of as‑built drawings and final project documentation.

Your work will support real decisions, real assets, and real operational outcomes.

What you’ll gain

• Professional growth through ownership, exposure, and meaningful contribution from day one
• Hands‑on experience in a role where the challenge is energising, fast‑moving, meaningful, and built on learning through doing.
• Direct experience leading and coordinating mechanical construction activities on large‑scale renewable energy projects, working closely with contractors, engineers, and site stakeholders.
• Exposure to HV/MV equipment installation, tracker and mounting structure systems, quality control processes, and project commissioning activities within a global energy environment.

What you’ll bring

Experience and qualifications
