• Oversee installation and commissioning of power distribution systems, switchgear, motor control centers (MCC), inplant distribution, generators, UPS, fire alarm systems, low-voltage/data systems, fiber optic cabling and EV charging stations.
• Supervise field teams including superintendents, master and journeyman electricians, subcontractors and vendors; provide direction, mentoring and performance management.
• Implement and enforce quality control, testing and commissioning protocols; manage punch lists and ensure timely closeout and turnover.
• Ensure compliance with NEC, local codes, federal requirements, OSHA and client specifications; manage permitting and inspection processes.
