- Oversee installation of cable tray systems, junction boxes, pull boxes, and wireways
- Manage installation of disconnects, motor starters, overloads, and related power distribution components
- Direct grounding system installation and bonding connections per NEC requirements
- Ensure proper wire terminations with correct torque values, lugging, and labeling at all connection points
- Oversee cable management including wire bundling, cable supports, strain relief, and routing compliance
- Review and interpret electrical drawings including one-line diagrams, panel schedules, conduit schedules, cable schedules, and electrical installation details
- Verify field installation matches engineering drawings and identify conflicts requiring resolution
- Partner with engineering teams to clarify drawings, resolve field conflicts, and validate installation intent
