• Schematic Review & As-Builts: Direct the preparation, review, and redrafting of electrical schematics, control panel drawings, cable schedules, and instrument loop diagrams.
• Compliance & Quality Assurance: Ensure that all control systems, wiring paths, and electrical components strictly comply with international semiconductor standards and local cleanroom EHS regulations.

2. Contractor & Execution Management

• Subcontractor Oversight: Directly manage, supervise, and coordinate on-site electrical and control contractors during physical installations, cable routing, and control panel setups.
• Scheduling & Progress Verification: Evaluate contractor progress claims, monitor execution timelines, and ensure work is completed to the highest engineering quality before commissioning stages begin.
• Quality Audits: Work alongside local and third-party QA/QC leads to inspect electrical containment, safety grounding, and termination quality.

3. Managed Testing & Commissioning Coordination

• Commissioning Management: Lead and manage the overall testing and commissioning sequences. Define testing protocols and direct contractors through comprehensive I/O loop checks and signal validation.
• Safety Interlock Validation: Coordinate with commissioning leads and contractors to execute, log, and verify fail-safe safety interlocks, EMO circuits, and automated alarm sequences.
