Midday, you’re pulling wire, checking terminations, coordinating LOTO with operations, and syncing with mechanical, piping, welding, rigging, millwright, fabrication, civil, structural, control panel, and maintenance teams. By afternoon, you’re tracking productivity, clearing constraints, and updating the schedule so commissioning or tie-ins stay on track.
