• Ensure all work is completed safely, cleanly, and according to approved drawings and project requirements.
• Monitor manpower productivity, work quality, tools, access, material usage, and daily progress.
• Report blockers, missing materials, access issues, clashes, and safety concerns immediately.

Installation Quality Control

• Check installation alignment, supports, spacing, segregation, access, labeling, cable routing, bend radius, containment levels, and workmanship.
• Ensure electrical works are coordinated with HVAC, BMS, fire alarm, ELV, mechanical, ceiling, civil, and structural works.
• Prevent incorrect installation before it becomes rework.
• Ensure areas are ready before calling for engineer or QA/QC inspection.
• Support snag closure and corrective actions.

Equipment And Interface Support

• Support electrical installation requirements for HVAC equipment, BMS panels, control panels, pumps, isolators, sensors, actuators, and main equipment.
