• Audit Management: Lead internal and external quality audits at project sites and vendor manufacturing facilities.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all electrical installations comply with international standards (IEC, IEEE, CEA, local grid codes).

Engineering & Procurement Quality

• Vendor Qualification: Evaluate and approve Technical Capability Assessments for suppliers of critical electrical equipment (Inverters, Transformers, Switchgears, Modules, WTGs, and BESS enclosures).
• Pre-dispatch Inspection: Oversee Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and review Material Dispatch Clearance Certificates (MDCC).
• Design Review: Collaborate with the engineering team to review electrical drawings for quality, safety, and constructability.

Site Execution & Commissioning Quality

• Site Inspections: Monitor Field Acceptance Tests (SAT)
• Punch List Management: Track and resolve non-conformity reports (NCR) and punch points prior to plant commissioning.
• Handover Assurance: Manage the seamless quality handover of electrical assets from the EPC team to the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) team.

Team Leadership & Continuous Improvement

• Team Management: Lead and mentor a team of regional and site-level Electrical Quality Managers and Engineers.
