Job description

Electrical Supervisor - Southern Water

Location - Chichester, West Sussex

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Electrical Supervisor to join the team at Galliford Try within our Environment Business.

Ideally, you will be based in or around the Chichester area and will have the opportunity to travel across multiple sites/projects in the Region.

You will work on our Southern Water Framework within our Environment Business, who are experienced in successfully delivering schemes of varying sizes, predominantly to the Water Industry across Southern Water's region.

What you will be doing:

This is a key role with input throughout the project lifecycle. As Electrical Supervisor you will keep the site safe for everyone, including our supply chain, and deliver the electrical installation phase of your assigned projects to a high standard. You will work closely with the Senior Project Manager / Project Managers and the MEICA / Commissioning team, and make sure electrical installation runs to programme and in a sequence that supports efficient commissioning.

Where appointed, you will act as Electrical Authorised Person (EAP) under the Galliford Try Electrical Safety Rules. This covers switching operations, controlling work on electrical systems, making sure everyone working under your control is competent and qualified for the task, and carrying out routine inspection, testing, maintenance and site safety inspections.

You will also act, where appointed, as Works Package Technical Specialist for electrical packages and subcontractors. You will supervise electrical subcontractors to a high standard of health, safety, environment and quality, review and authorise RAMS for electrical installation works, and snag electrical works against the relevant standards.

You will support the design team on the specification of electrical systems and general design issues, and make sure all installation works meet client specifications, Asset Standards and, where relevant, WIMES. You will work with the client's Asset Operations Team to integrate new works with existing assets, and with specialist teams including DSEAR, Technical Authors and Document Controllers.

You will coordinate electrical activities across Galliford Try and subcontract resources, work with the planner to keep MEICA / Commissioning updates in the main contract programme, and attend regular commissioning meetings. You will witness FATs as instructed, supervise all electrical testing in line with the Inspection and Test Plan, and keep all records, test forms and O&M information up to date and passed to document control.

You will support the Commissioning team through each stage of commissioning, support operation and maintenance until plant takeover, and support the 28-day reliability test. Working with the Project Manager and Senior Electrical Supervisor / MEICA Lead, you will manage the snagging list collaboratively, clear snags and outstanding works while contractors are still on site, and show that quality criteria are met through the performance test process.

Safety comes first. You will put in place and maintain electrical safe systems of work on your projects, regularly assess new risks and hazards, and make sure your team works safely and follows Galliford Try processes and procedures.

About You:

• Solid experience in the water industry
• A track record of site management and delivery of electrical installation through to project takeover
• Experience managing the client interface day to day, including resolving issues that affect progress
• An understanding of water industry processes and the mechanical and electrical equipment used in the sector
• An understanding of health, safety and environmental approaches
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office for creating and presenting reports
• HNC in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
• BS 7671 18th Edition
• City & Guilds 2391, or 2394 & 2395 Inspection and Testing
• City & Guilds Authorised Person module
• CSCS or ECS card in a relevant discipline
• EUSR National Water Hygiene Card
• SSSTS as a minimum

Desirable:

• SMSTS
• First Aid at Work
• DSEAR awareness, CompEx Foundation (ExF) or equivalent
