  • You will contribute to budget management by evaluating the cost impact of design changes, tracking electrical expenditures, and analyzing contractual obligations tied to the EoR.

  • You will participate in risk assessment and commissioning efforts, including factory and site acceptance testing, milestone inspections, and integration verification.

  • You will coordinate closely with mechanical, controls, and architectural teams to ensure the electrical systems are fully integrated into the broader design framework.

  • You will mentor and support junior engineers, reinforcing consistent design practices and ensuring knowledge continuity across the team.

  • You will help capture lessons learned and apply them to improve future design processes, standards, and project outcomes.

  • You will support construction activities in the field, resolving installation issues, conducting walkthroughs, and ensuring a successful handoff to operations.
