• Identify project risks and implement effective mitigation plans.
• Conduct regular site visits and progress reviews.
• Ensure accurate and timely project reporting to management and stakeholders.
• Lead testing and commissioning of LV systems, including switchgear, transformers, cables, and protection systems.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Minimum 8 years of Project Manager experiences
• At least 5 years of hands-on experience of managing projects with 22kV and/or 66kV systems (e.g., switchgear installations, cable laying, protection testing).

• Familiarity with IEC/IEEE standards and local electrical codes.
• Excellent project planning and execution skills.
• Strong communication and leadership skills.
• Knowledge in electrical systems, power distribution, lighting, and low voltage systems.
