• Review, approve, and control RAMS and safe systems of work in line with statutory and project requirements.
• Act as technical authority for HV and LV systems, including switching, isolation, testing, commissioning, and fault response.
• Maintain, fault-find, and improve electrical systems across production machinery, batching plants, curing systems, cranes, and automated segment casting lines.
• Provide specialist support for PLC-controlled equipment, automation, drives, and control panels, including optimisation and modifications.
• Plan and deliver preventive and corrective maintenance to maximise plant availability and production output.
• Ensure compliance with relevant electrical standards, legislation, and project specifications.
• Lead electrical personnel and subcontractors, ensuring competence, training, performance, and safe execution of works.
• Interface with production, mechanical, quality, and project teams to minimise downtime and meet tunnel segment delivery schedules.
