Site Project Manager – Low Voltage Switchboard (Data Centre Project)

We are seeking an experienced Site Project Manager to oversee and manage the site execution of Low Voltage (LV) Switchboard systems within a mission-critical data centre environment. The successful candidate will be responsible for coordinating and supervising all on-site activities related to the installation, integration, testing, and commissioning of LV switchboards to ensure safe, timely, and high-quality delivery in accordance with project specifications and client expectations.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Site Management & Execution

Lead and manage the on-site LV switchboard installation works from mobilization to final handover.

Ensure adherence to the construction schedule, quality standards, safety regulations, and project milestones.

Supervise subcontractors, in-house teams, and vendors to execute LV works in alignment with approved drawings and method statements.

Plan and monitor site resources (manpower, tools, materials) efficiently to avoid delays or rework.

2. Technical Oversight

Review and interpret electrical drawings, single line diagrams (SLDs), and installation details.

Coordinate layout adjustments or technical clarifications with engineering and design teams.

Ensure installation follows relevant standards (IEC, IEEE, local codes) and OEM recommendations.

Manage Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) in coordination with QA/QC teams and clients.

3. Coordination & Communication

Serve as the primary site liaison between the project team, consultants, general contractors, and client representatives.

Chair or attend daily coordination meetings, site walkdowns, and interface discussions.

Maintain and distribute daily site reports, look-ahead schedules, progress updates, and issue logs.

4. Safety & Compliance

Enforce safety practices in compliance with workplace safety regulations and company policies.

Conduct toolbox talks, risk assessments, and incident reporting as required.

Ensure the installation complies with environmental, health, and safety (EHS) policies.

5. Documentation & Handover

Ensure all test results, as-built drawings, red-line markups, and commissioning records are accurately maintained.

Support the preparation of Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals and handover packages.

Facilitate punch list resolution and client sign-off for LV-related systems.

Requirements:

1. Qualifications:

Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.

Project Management certification (e.g., PMP) is an advantage.

2. Experience:

Minimum 3-5 years of experience in electrical or LV systems installation, with at least 2 years in a data centre or mission-critical environment.

Proven experience managing site teams and subcontractors on large-scale electrical infrastructure projects.

3. Technical Skills:

Strong understanding of LV switchboard systems (Main Switchboards, Distribution Boards, Busducts, MCCs, etc.).

Familiarity with IEC standards and data centre-specific requirements (e.g., Uptime Institute Tiers).

Knowledge of electrical testing protocols (IR, continuity, functional testing).

Proficient in using MS Project, AutoCAD markups, and construction management tools.

4. Soft Skills:

Strong leadership, organizational, and communication abilities.

Problem-solving mindset and ability to work under pressure.

Attention to detail and proactive attitude towards risk mitigation and quality control with minimum supervision.

Additional Information:

• Willingness to be based on-site full-time.
• Overtime or shift work may be required during commissioning phases or critical deadlines.
• International experience or cross-cultural project exposure is a plus.
