Construction Project Engineer – Electrical

Site supervision & quality
Conduct daily site walks to review progress and quality of electrical works, raise quality observations and update the project team.
Inspect trenches, pits, ductbanks, cable trays / ladders, busways, cable pulling, jointing and terminations, panels and earthing / lightning protection systems in accordance with the agreed ITP.
Supervise installation of MV/LV switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS and battery systems, PDUs / RPPs, lighting, small power and electrical interfaces with BMS / EPMS and ELV systems.
Review the Inspection & Test Plan (ITP) developed by the GC; direction on quality and design is to be given through the client in line with the project governance.
Verify that equipment is installed in accordance with approved shop drawings, manufacturer requirements and technical specifications; prepare Installation Inspection Reports (IIR) highlighting non-conformances and follow up rectification.
Record every defect or issue as an observation; issue NCRs to the GC (copied to the Construction Manager) where works do not comply with contract drawings, approved shop drawings or specifications, and drive timely close-out.
Verify that adequate protection of equipment and systems is maintained during construction in line with the client’s Equipment Protection Plan.
Testing & commissioning
Witness and verify electrical testing (insulation resistance, continuity, earthing, high-pot, primary / secondary injection, protection relay settings, thermographic scans) and review test records.
Confirm that installations are complete, inspected and signed off before proceeding to commissioning (Level 1–5 / IST), and support energisation and EVN grid connection activities under strict LOTO and permit-to-work controls.
Reporting, HSE & close-out
Attend project meetings and arrange ad-hoc coordination meetings with the General Contractor (GC), design consultants and other stakeholders.
Monitor and log GC construction activities; prepare weekly reports covering progress, mock-ups / benchmarks, RFIs, NCRs and technical issues.
Assess GC means and methods against the most stringent applicable global, national and local standards and notify the client immediately of any deficiencies.
Participate in GC incident investigations, ensuring root causes are established and effective control measures implemented.
Support authority inspections, construction acceptance (nghiệm thu), as-built and O&M documentation and handover.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
5–8 years’ experience in electrical / MEP site supervision, preferably on data centres, semiconductor / high-tech manufacturing, industrial plants, mission-critical facilities or large commercial developments.
Strong technical knowledge and proven delivery of MV/LV power distribution, standby power, UPS, earthing and lightning protection systems.
Good understanding of Vietnamese electrical codes and standards (TCVN / QCVN), IEC standards and international best practice; awareness of electrical safety (e.g. NFPA 70E) is an advantage.
Valid Grade I or Grade II Construction Practising Certificate (Chứng chỉ hành nghề hoạt động xây dựng) in construction supervision for the relevant discipline – mandatory for Vietnamese nationals.
