• Review and approve method statements, ITPs, and shop drawings with a focus on constructability, safety, and sequencing.
• Ensure safe and efficient energization of systems, working closely with safety and commissioning teams.
• Lead site inspections, issue non-conformance reports, and drive corrective actions to completion.

Contractor & Stakeholder Coordination

• Work directly with EPC and subcontractor teams to resolve design and construction challenges in real time.
• Chair and contribute to technical, construction, and coordination meetings with contractors and consultants.
• Ensure all parties adhere to project schedules, with rapid escalation and mitigation of potential delays.
• Maintain strong relationships with project controls, planning, and procurement teams to align delivery milestones.

Technical Oversight & Compliance

• Validate technical designs against site conditions and industrial operational requirements.
• Ensure all works meet Saudi standards, NEC/IEC codes, and relevant project specifications.
• Manage testing & commissioning documentation, O&M manuals, and as-built records for handover.
• Ensure smooth transition from construction to operations, with zero-defect handovers.

• Expert knowledge of BMS systems, LV distribution, MV networks, and electrical infrastructure.
• Strong track record in fast‑track project delivery, including testing, commissioning, and energization.
• Proven experience working for or alongside EPC contractors to achieve challenging deadlines.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Comprehensive understanding of Saudi building codes, safety regulations, and utility authority processes.
