Supervise contractors daily electrical O&M activities at assigned dam and water facilities. Review and audit electrical works performed by contractors. Inspect power-distribution, control, communication, low-current and backup-power systems. Verify that site works comply with approved drawings, specifications, method statements and inspection plans. Inspect transformers, switchgear, distribution boards, motor control centres, cables, motors and protection systems. Monitor installation, termination, testing, commissioning, energization and handover activities. Confirm that materials and equipment delivered to site comply with approved technical submissions. Witness electrical tests, including insulation resistance, continuity, earthing, protection and functional tests. Verify the calibration and functionality of relevant meters, relays, instruments and control devices. Identify defective or non-compliant work and follow corrective actions through to closure. Maintain accurate inspection records, test results, site observations and completion evidence. Monitor the condition, availability and reliability of electrical systems serving dam facilities. Coordinate preventive, predictive, corrective and emergency electrical maintenance. Review daily and weekly maintenance plans and confirm readiness before work begins. Coordinate electrical isolations, shutdowns, testing, energization and return-to-service activities. Verify compliance with approved lockout/tagout and permit-to-work requirements. Monitor electrical faults, power interruptions, overheating, insulation failures and abnormal equipment conditions. Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of recurring electrical failures. Recommend corrective, preventive and reliability-improvement measures. Monitor maintenance backlogs and prioritize critical and safety-related electrical work. Verify the availability of spare parts, tools, test equipment and specialist resources. Support emergency response to loss of power, equipment failure, communication loss and control-system faults. Confirm that maintenance history and equipment records are updated in SAP or the approved maintenance-management system. Review contractors electrical drawings, calculations, data sheets, method statements and technical submissions. Prepare electrical specifications, scopes of work, bills of quantities and improvement reports. Review electrical load schedules, demand calculations, cable sizing and voltage-drop calculations. Review short-circuit, protection-coordination, selectivity and earthing calculations where required. Verify compliance with project specifications, the Saudi Building Code and applicable electrical standards. Review medium-voltage and low-voltage systems and associated protection requirements. Review pump- and motor-starting systems, including direct-on-line starters, soft starters and variable-frequency drives. Review normal, standby and emergency power arrangements, including generators, UPS systems and batteries. Assess switchgear, transformers, motor control centres, distribution panels and power cables. Review communications, telemetry, fire alarms, CCTV, access control and other low-current systems. Support technical review of SCADA, PLC, instrumentation and control-system interfaces. Review clean- and renewable-energy systems proposed for remote dam and water facilities. Review as-built drawings, test certificates, equipment warranties, spare-parts schedules and O&M manuals. Recommend repair, rehabilitation, modernization or replacement of aging electrical assets. Coordinate daily work with contractors, operators, technicians and multidisciplinary site teams. Participate in toolbox talks, permit-to-work reviews and site coordination meetings. Monitor contractor manpower, equipment, productivity, safety and schedule performance. Review progress and identify delays, constraints and resource shortages. Coordinate electrical activities with mechanical, hydraulic, civil, instrumentation, control, quality and HSE teams. Provide technical input for progress verification, payment assessments and variation reviews. Escalate critical technical, safety and operational concerns to project management. Attend meetings, inspections and site visits anywhere in Saudi Arabia as required. Prepare O&M reports covering power, communications, clean-energy, MV/LV and pump-starting systems. Prepare clear daily, weekly, monthly, annual and technical reports as required by the assignment. Report equipment condition, work progress, contractor performance, defects, risks and corrective actions. Maintain registers for inspections, technical submissions, electrical isolations and non-conformances. Coordinate with government stakeholders, consultants, contractors and multidisciplinary teams. Comply with Saudi laws, applicable codes, Client procedures, quality requirements and occupational health and safety obligations.
