## Job Summary:

The General Supervisor is responsible for organizing, directing, and monitoring subcontractor or direct-hire construction activities for the NG Main Substation. The role integrates civil, structural, architectural, HVAC, piping, mechanical, fire protection, and electrical work fronts while coordinating safety, quality, technical execution, materials, interfaces, and short-term planning.
The position provides day-to-day leadership across multiple disciplines, directs supervisors and foremen, resolves construction constraints, verifies system and area readiness, and coordinates testing, energization, commissioning, and turnover.

## Major Responsibilities:

- Provide multidisciplinary field leadership for safe construction, installation, inspection, testing, pre-commissioning, and turnover of the NG Main Substation.
- Direct civil works: site preparation, excavation, dewatering, underground services, duct banks, drainage, roads, foundations, slabs, buildings, trenches, pits, and architectural finishes.
- Coordinate structural concrete and steel works: embeds, anchor bolts, equipment supports, platforms, stairs, handrails, gratings, fireproofing, and building-envelope interfaces.
- Lead installation and interfaces for transformers, high-, medium-, and low-voltage switchgear, protection/control panels, station service systems, batteries, DC/UPS systems, and auxiliary equipment.
- Coordinate grounding, lightning protection, cable trenches, conduits, trays, raceways, bonding, cable pulling, glanding, termination, identification, and testing.
- Coordinate control-room/electrical-building HVAC: air-handling and packaged units, ductwork, dampers, controls, ventilation, pressurization, and cooling.
- Coordinate mechanical/piping systems: fire water/suppression, plumbing, drainage, compressed air, pumps, tanks, valves, supports, pressure testing, flushing, and reinstatement.
- Verify equipment setting, alignment, anchorage, grout, clearances, access, maintainability, preservation, environmental protection, and manufacturer requirements.
- Sequence civil release, structural completion, equipment installation, building services, cabling, testing, and energization to avoid interference.
- Monitor schedules, three-week look-aheads, work fronts, manpower, productivity, quantities, materials, tools, cranes, and equipment needs.
- Prepare/review work packages, installation methods, inspection/test plans, job hazard analyses, lift plans, manning forecasts, and subcontractor execution plans.
- Monitor conformance with approved drawings, specifications, models, vendor documents, codes, standards, and project procedures.
- Lead daily coordination among civil, structural, architectural, HVAC, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, communications, utility, and commissioning teams.
- Work with Field Engineering to resolve technical queries, design conflicts, field changes, constructability concerns, and nonconforming conditions.
- Coordinate material availability, receiving inspection, storage, preservation, vendor support, and construction release.
- Ensure completion of quality records, hold/witness points, test reports, red-lines, NCR resolution, punch-list closure, and turnover documentation.
- Coordinate multidisciplinary testing: structural acceptance, pressure/leak testing, flushing, HVAC functional, grounding, transformer and relay tests, and integrated functional checks.
- Support systemization, commissioning boundaries, LOTO, energization/switching plans, temporary power, fire-protection readiness, and safe handover.
- Enforce ES&H, Permit-to-Work, excavation/lifting safety, electrical safe work, arc-flash controls, work-at-height, and housekeeping requirements.
- Conduct field inspections/coordination meetings to assess readiness, safety, quality, productivity, constraints, interfaces, and schedule performance.
- Maintain records for manpower, installed quantities, progress, equipment status, inspections, tests, constraints, and field issues.
- Direct discipline supervisors, foremen, craft professionals, and subcontractor supervision; verify daily/weekly commitments.
- Promote collaboration focused on safe execution, technical quality, interface ownership, accountability, and predictable delivery.

## Education and Experience Requirements:

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management (or an international equivalent), with 8-10 years of relevant experience; or 12-14 years of relevant construction and field supervision experience.
- Previous supervisory experience on main substations, power infrastructure, industrial buildings, mining, process plants, heavy industrial facilities, or comparable EPC/EPCM projects.

## Required Knowledge and Skills:

- Broad practical knowledge of civil, structural, architectural, HVAC, piping, mechanical, and fire protection construction associated with main substations.
- Ability to interpret civil and structural drawings, layouts, specifications, schematics, piping and HVAC drawings, vendor manuals, and test procedures.
- Working knowledge of substation sequencing, equipment installation, building services, grounding, protection and control, and multidisciplinary testing.
- Knowledge of applicable construction codes, project standards, quality requirements, and safe work practices.
- Knowledge of construction planning, work packaging, progress measurement, productivity monitoring, and short-term scheduling.
- Understanding of subcontract administration and field responsibilities defined in subcontract documents.
- Ability to identify cross-discipline constructability and interface issues and coordinate practical solutions with engineering, quality, commissioning, and construction stakeholders.
- Effective leadership, communication, recordkeeping, conflict resolution, and stakeholder coordination skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and construction reporting or completions systems.
- Ability to manage multiple work fronts and maintain focus on safety, quality, schedule, testing readiness, and turnover.

## Physical and Site Requirements
