• Risk Management: Identify potential electrical hazards, particularly in wet or unstable environments. Implement corrective actions to mitigate risks, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.
• Training and Development: Train and mentor electrical staff on the safe and proper handling of electrical systems, tools, and equipment. Conduct safety workshops and ensure that workers are up-to-date with industry standards and safety protocols.
• Equipment and Material Management: Ensure the appropriate electrical materials, tools, and equipment are on-site and in good working condition. Manage and maintain stock to prevent delays.
• Compliance with Environmental Regulations: Ensure that all electrical installations comply with environmental laws and regulations, particularly in wetland or swampy areas where electrical systems must be designed with additional safeguards against water exposure and corrosion.
• Emergency Response: Develop and implement emergency response plans for electrical hazards, including power outages, electrical fires, and water-related electrical risks. Ensure team members are trained to respond promptly and safely to emergencies.

Qualifications:

• Experience: Minimum 8 years of experience in electrical supervision, with at least 2-3 years in supervising electrical work in swampy, waterlogged, or marine environments.
• Technical Skills: Strong knowledge of electrical systems, wiring, and equipment, including proficiency in electrical schematics, troubleshooting, and installation procedures.
• Safety Training: Extensive knowledge of electrical safety standards (e.g., OSHA, NEBOSH) and experience implementing safety practices on construction sites. Certification in Electrical Safety is preferred.
• Leadership Skills: Proven experience in managing and supervising a team of electricians, with excellent communication, organizational, and leadership abilities.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to troubleshoot and resolve electrical issues on-site, ensuring work is completed according to specifications and without compromising safety.
• Environmental Awareness: Knowledge of the challenges of working in wetland, swampy, or marine environments, including the need for additional precautions when working with electrical systems in moist or waterlogged conditions.
• Education and Certification:
• Bachelor’s degree or Technical Diploma in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• NEBOSH, OSHA, or similar construction safety certifications.
• Valid electrical certification (e.g., NIEC, NEC) is preferred.
• Equipment and Tool Proficiency: Familiarity with electrical testing tools, diagnostic equipment, and safety gear required for wetland or waterlogged environments.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience in Wetland or Marine Projects: Prior experience managing electrical work in swampy, waterlogged, or marine environments, understanding the specific requirements for electrical systems in such terrains.
• Corrosion Protection: Knowledge of protective measures for electrical systems against corrosion and damage in water-exposed conditions (e.g., use of waterproof casings, anti-corrosion coatings).
• Project Management Experience: Experience in managing electrical works for large-scale infrastructure projects, including budgeting, resource allocation, and scheduling.

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to work in challenging outdoor conditions, including swampy, waterlogged, or marine environments.
• Ability to lift heavy electrical materials and tools, perform manual labor, and work long hours if needed.
