• Provide early-stage input on building systems design (M&E, fire systems, vertical transport) to ensure electrical and maintenance readiness.
• Conduct thorough design reviews, operability assessments, and engineering compliance checks on all electrical systems.
• Review shop drawings, specifications, and method statements to ensure alignment with FM standards.
• Coordinate testing, commissioning, and technical support for electrical systems during project handover.
• Validate installed systems for maintainability, space access, and operational safety.

2. Electrical Asset Management & Maintenance

• Oversee performance assessments and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for critical electrical assets.
• Define electrical asset renewal or upgrade strategies based on performance data.
• Monitor electrical asset health using tools like CMMS, BMS, or IoT analytics to evaluate reliability and failure rates.
• Coordinate with vendors for condition-based maintenance, audits, and predictive servicing programs for high-voltage and critical systems.
• Perform scheduled and condition-based maintenance on critical assets.

3. Technical Benchmarking & Improvement

• Collect, analyze, and compare technical performance data, including energy use and maintenance cost, across various buildings.
• Identify electrical performance gaps and develop robust improvement plans based on peer comparison and audit results.
• Implement improvement initiatives derived from benchmarking outcomes to enhance electrical efficiency.
