- Identify, document, and follow up on any site deviations, non-conformances, or quality issues — ensuring timely corrective actions are taken and recorded appropriately
- Ensure all electrical works are executed safely, in full compliance with applicable UAE construction standards, project specifications, and HSE requirements throughout the project lifecycle
Submittals, Shop Drawings & Method Statements
- Review, evaluate, and approve material submittals submitted by contractors — verifying compliance with project specifications and approved brand and technical requirements
- Review and approve shop drawings and installation method statements, ensuring they accurately reflect contract design intent and meet all engineering and quality standards before site execution
- Maintain a comprehensive, up-to-date register of all approved and pending submittals, drawings, and method statements for reference and audit purposes throughout the project
Project Coordination & Stakeholder Management
- Coordinate closely with the Project Manager, Senior Engineers, and the Testing & Commissioning team to ensure smooth, integrated delivery of all electrical works within the overall project programme
- Attend site meetings, technical review sessions, and coordination meetings — providing professional electrical engineering input and representing the consultancy’s supervision interests effectively
- Liaise with contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and client representatives on all electrical engineering matters — resolving technical queries and site issues efficiently and professionally
Reporting, Inspector Supervision & Performance Evaluation
- Prepare and submit comprehensive technical reports, financial progress reports, and construction progress updates in accordance with project reporting schedules and consultancy requirements
- Supervise site inspectors working within the electrical supervision team — assigning tasks, monitoring performance, providing technical guidance, and formally evaluating their work quality
- Maintain accurate, well-organised site supervision records, inspection logs, test records, and technical correspondence files throughout the full duration of the project
