• Act as the interface between construction, commissioning, vendors, and client teams.
• Verify competency and authorisation of personnel undertaking electrical works.

Essential Requirements:

• Proven experience as electrical safety lead or energisation authority on complex projects
• Strong knowledge of electrical safety principles, isolation, verification, and switching discipline.
• Practical competence in managing energisation interfaces across multiple contractors.
• Ability to challenge and stop work when safety controls are not met.
