Support day-to-day facilities management operations, including electrical infrastructure and building services.

Coordinate with facilities service providers, contractors, and vendors for maintenance, repairs, and inspections.

Monitor contractor performance to ensure work quality, safety compliance, and timely completion.

7. Project, Upgrade & Asset Management

Support electrical and facility-related projects, including cold-room expansion, renovation, upgrading, and asset replacement.

Coordinate project activities with consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders during installation and commissioning.

Review electrical drawings, load schedules, technical specifications, and as-built documentation.

8. Documentation, Reporting & Records

Maintain accurate records of maintenance activities, inspections, compliance documentation, and facility assets.

Prepare incident reports, root-cause analyses, and corrective action records for electrical or facility failures.

Update asset registers, electrical schematics, and facility documentation following system modifications.

9. Continuous Improvement & Team Support

Recommend improvements to enhance reliability, safety, and efficiency of electrical and facilities systems.

Provide technical guidance and training to technicians on safe work practices and troubleshooting procedures.

Stay updated on industry standards, emerging technologies, and best practices in electrical engineering and facilities management.
