Electrical Coordinator
Electrical Team Lead
The Busbar Specialist - Support & Assembly is responsible for performing comprehensive QA/QC oversight of busbar installations in a mission-critical project. The role includes
inspection of mechanical supports, alignment, jointing, insulation, earthing, termination interfaces, and compliance with all busbar installation standards and project requirements
. This role is
site-based, technically intensive, and requires a relevant engineering degree, along with immediate availability due to project urgency
.
1. Busbar Installation QA/QC
Inspect and verify installation of LV/MV busbar trunking systems including:
Riser busbars
Horizontal distribution busbars
Tap-off boxes
Feeder busbars to data hall PDUs/RPPs
Ensure busbars are installed per IFC drawings, approved shop drawings, manufacturer manuals, and project specifications.
Check alignment, straightness, clearances, routing, and mechanical integrity.
2. Mechanical Support & Assembly Verification
Inspect busbar support systems including brackets, hangers, cleats, suspensions, and seismic supports where applicable.
Ensure support spacing, torqueing, and structural anchoring meet project requirements.
Verify proper enclosure assembly, phase sequence, and joint integrity.
3. Insulation, Earthing & Continuity
Inspect busbar joint insulation kits, protective covers, and IP-rated enclosures.
Verify proper earthing/bonding of busbars, tap-off boxes, and supports as per standards.
Confirm continuity and bonding path integrity in preparation for testing and energization.
4. Jointing, Fastening & Interfaces
Monitor and verify torqueing of busbar joints as per manufacturer torque schedules.
Ensure correct installation of joint packs, contact surfaces, and thermal expansion allowances.
Confirm correct installation of tap-off units, breakers, and downstream feeder interfaces.
5. Pre-Commissioning Readiness
Verify busbar systems are ready for electrical and commissioning checks including:
Insulation resistance (IR) testing
Continuity and polarity checks
Mechanical tightness and enclosure integrity
Earthing continuity validation
Ensure busbar routes are clean, sealed, and safely accessible before energization.
6. QA/QC Documentation & Reporting
Prepare and maintain documents including:
Work Inspection Requests (WIRs)
Material Inspection Requests (MIRs)
NCRs (Non-Conformance Reports)
Joint torque records
Busbar inspection checklists
Daily reports and punch-list updates
Ensure documentation aligns with project ITPs and quality plans.
7. Coordination & Issue Resolution
Coordinate works with electrical, civil, mechanical, and cable containment teams for routing clearances and in-wall/in-slab interfaces.
Identify installation issues, clashes, and non-compliances early and escalate promptly.
Support subcontractors in adhering to QA/QC requirements.
8. Compliance & Safety
Ensure all installations comply with:
IEC/BS/NEMA standards for busbar systems
Manufacturer installation requirements
Project specification, method statements, and ITPs
Reinforce safety protocols when working around heavy components, elevated locations, energization areas, and mechanical lifting.
Qualifications & Experience
Requirements
