The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring safe, efficient, and high-quality execution of erection activities in accordance with project specifications, OEM requirements, and site HSE standards.

This role is ideal for professionals with experience in high-voltage transmission projects, substations, converter stations, or large-scale power infrastructure developments.

Key Responsibilities

• Supervise onsite installation and assembly of HVDC converter station equipment, including converter transformers, valve hall equipment, smoothing reactors, filter banks, GIS/AIS components, and busbar systems.
• Lead and coordinate heavy lifting, rigging, and positioning activities for large electrical and mechanical equipment in accordance with approved lifting plans and site procedures.
• Ensure all installation activities comply with OEM installation manuals, project technical specifications, quality requirements, and construction standards.
• Monitor daily construction progress, material deliveries, workforce productivity, and installation schedules to achieve project milestones.
• Coordinate with engineering, quality, logistics, commissioning, and subcontractor teams to resolve technical and construction interface issues.
• Review construction drawings, assembly schematics, equipment layouts, and installation procedures to support field execution.
• Verify alignment, leveling, torque tightening, and assembly quality during equipment installation.
• Maintain installation records, as-built documentation, inspection reports, punch lists, torque logs, and non-conformance reports.
• Supervise subcontractors and site personnel, ensuring work is executed safely and efficiently.
• Identify construction risks, site constraints, and potential schedule impacts, and implement corrective actions where required.
• Ensure compliance with project HSE policies, permit-to-work systems, lifting regulations, working-at-height requirements, and environmental standards.
• Support pre-commissioning and mechanical completion activities prior to handover to commissioning teams.

• Diploma or Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in the installation and erection of high-voltage electrical equipment, substations, power transmission, or industrial infrastructure projects.
• Demonstrated experience with HVDC converter stations, HV substations, GIS, AIS, power transformers, reactors, or similar electrical infrastructure is highly preferred.
• Strong knowledge of heavy lifting operations, rigging practices, and equipment installation procedures.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, electrical layouts, assembly schematics, and technical specifications.
• Experience supervising subcontractors, construction crews, and site installation activities.
• Familiarity with QA/QC requirements, mechanical completion processes, and construction documentation.
• Relevant lifting, rigging, high-voltage installation, or electrical trade certifications will be advantageous.
• Excellent communication, coordination, and problem-solving skills.
• Willingness to work at construction sites and in outdoor project environments.
