* Ensure all site activities adhere to safety rules, method statements, and permit-to-work systems.
* Implement quality assurance plans and oversee inspections, audits, and documentation.
Cost & Schedule Control
* Manage project budgets, forecasts, procurement activities, and commercial reporting.
* Monitor progress and performance, identifying variances and implementing corrective actions.
* Negotiate with contractors and suppliers to optimize cost, delivery, and quality.
Technical & Operational
* Review engineering designs, drawings, and specifications for HV/LV substation systems.
* Support technical problem-solving during construction and commissioning phases.
* Oversee FAT, SAT, and final commissioning ensuring readiness for energization and handover.
Requirements
* Proven experience managing substation or high-voltage (HV/MV) electrical infrastructure projects.

* Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
* Proficiency in project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera P6).
