• Review load flow, short circuit, arc flash, and protection and coordination studies — ensure accuracy, not just completion
• Own MV distribution, unit substations, UPS and battery systems, static/dynamic transfer, generator and BESS integration, grounding and bonding schemes

• Manage interfaces across design partner, GC, OEMs, utility, commissioning authority, and AHJ
• Own risk register for electrical scope including long-lead equipment and energization
