Tech in Electrical Engineering (preferred) or Mechanical/Civil Engineering from a recognized university.

Acceptable Alternate: Diploma in Electrical (preferred) or Mechanical/Civil Engineering with 12–15+ years of relevant QA/QC experience in transmission projects Core Scope:

• QA/QC management for both AIS/GIS substation works and Overhead Transmission Line (OHTL) works.
• Material inspection at site, installation supervision, and testing/witnessing.
• Implementation of the Field Quality Plan (FQP) and Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs). Managing inspections, NCRs (Non-Conformance Reports), and corrective actions
• Coordinating with EPC contractor(s), third-party inspectors, and Lendor representatives for quality system adherence and implementation
• Miniating Site quality documentations and records PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES: Accountabilities Major Activities Quality Management Quality Planning & Documentation Implement Field Quality Plan (FQP) and Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) for substation and line works. Review and approve contractors’ method statements and work procedures. Maintain comprehensive QA/QC records — inspection reports, calibration certificates, test results, and approvals.

1. Incoming Material Inspection Verification of material and equipment quality against approved drawings and specifications. Check manufacturer’s test certificates and shipping documents. Site inspection for: Transformers, GIS/AIS equipment, breakers, CTs, PTs, isolators. Conductors, insulators, hardware fittings. Steel structures, tower members, bolts/nuts, earthing materials.
2. Substation Installation Quality Oversight Civil works: foundations, trenches, cable ducts, control room building as per specs. Electrical/mechanical works: erection of gantries, busbars, GIS bays, switchgear, transformers, and auxiliary systems. Cable laying, terminations, glanding, and control panel wiring. Witness functional and electrical tests: insulation resistance, contact resistance, ratio tests, SF6 leakage, relay testing.
3. Transmission Line Quality Oversight Tower foundation type checks (pile, raft, chimney, pad & chimney, etc.). Tower erection quality checks: verticality, tightening torque, member placement. Conductor stringing: sagging, tensioning, mid-span joints, compression fittings. OPGW/earth wire installation and optical fiber testing. Witness line tests: continuity, insulation, and earthing resistance.
4. Testing & Commissioning QA Witness substation pre-commissioning tests (transformers, breakers, relays). Line pre-energization checks and statutory clearances. Ensure proper documentation for energization approval.
5. Non-Conformance & Corrective Action Raise NCRs for deviations from standards or drawings. Verify corrective & preventive action closure. Conduct root cause analysis for repeated issues.
6. Handover & Final Quality Dossier Ensure all QA/QC documentation is complete for PAC (Provisional Acceptance Certificate). Maintain punch list and verify closure. Deliver final Quality Dossier for both substation and line.
7. Reporting & Coordination Daily and weekly quality reports to Project Manager and Corporate QA. Coordinate with client inspectors for joint inspections. Liaise with statutory bodies for mandatory inspections. Technical Innovation & Developing Solutions Adopt digital quality tools, non-conformance tracking systems, and real-time quality data analytics... Business Planning & Budget Forecasting Budget allocation for quality engineers, inspectors, and specialists at project sites Provision for quality tools (measuring instruments, test kits), digital platforms (QMS software, NCR tracking), third-party inspections, lab testing, for his site Developing self and others Conduct regular training and awareness programs on quality standards, root cause analysis (RCA) Promote a culture of zero-defect and first-time-right execution Management Functions Provide quality assurance reports to internal management, clients, and lenders. Showcase quality credentials through audit clearances, and compliance records. Interface with Hong Kong Showcase quality credentials through audit clearances, and compliance records
