- Take part in daily site meetings, safety briefings, and coordination sessions
- Enforce OSHA requirements and site-specific safety procedures
- Monitor progress and report electrical installation status to project leadership
- Support testing and commissioning as projects near completion
- Help close out punch lists and complete final electrical handover
- Travel to project sites as needed
What You’ll Bring
