• Evaluate utility service requirements and coordinate with local utility providers for medium- and high-voltage service connections.
• Review and approve submittals, RFIs, and shop drawings during construction.
• Support commissioning activities and validate system performance, redundancy, and reliability.
• Participate in value engineering, risk assessments, and constructability reviews.
• Stay current on emerging technologies, sustainable energy solutions, high-density cooling/power trends, and innovations in electrical equipment manufacturing.
