Some of the main responsibilities of the Electrical Technical Lead will include:

Define and implement the cable routing strategy, standards, and design approach for the full project scope. Act as the technical authority for cable routing, ensuring compliance with applicable regulations, standards, and safety requirements.

Coordinate interfaces with layout, electrical, I&C, civil, structural, procurement, and construction teams. Review and approve routing deliverables, ensuring accuracy, quality, and constructability. Ensure routing activities are based on validated and up-to-date input data, including engineering rules, specifications, and supplier information. Establish and maintain progress tracking, reporting, and risk management for routing activities. Support governance forums and design reviews, providing clear technical recommendations. Mentor and support cable routing engineers, promoting best practice and continuous improvement.
