Roles: Electrical Supervisor, Site Manager, Project Services Engineer / SAP

Working across a variety of projects for multiple clients, requiring adaptation to differing electrical specifications, installation standards, and project requirements. Developed extensive experience in both site-based delivery and project engineering functions, supporting projects from initial survey and planning stages through to completion and handover.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conducting site surveys and assessing project requirements
• Producing material take-offs and procuring project materials
• Liaising directly with clients and subcontractors
• Preparing work packs and technical documentation for site operatives
• Programming, Planning, coordinating, and sequencing works
• Drafting RAMS, permits, and other project documentation
• Compiling Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals
• Managing electrical certification and handover documentation
• Supervising site activities and ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards
• Supporting project delivery, reporting, and commercial requirements

Just prior to completing my apprenticeship with EMTEC, I was offered the opportunity to transition into an office-based role, training towards becoming an Electrical Project Manager in recognition of my potential for progression within the company.

During this period, I supported the pre-construction phase of the ASN Special Needs School project in Kirkintilloch, gaining valuable experience in project planning, estimating, and procurement. This role provided exposure to specialist electrical systems, including sensory equipment and adaptable lighting installations, while developing my understanding of client requirements and design coordination.

Key responsibilities included:

• Assisting with project planning and pre-construction activities
• Preparing and pricing work packages
• Obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations
• Communicating and negotiating with suppliers and subcontractors
• Contributing to project documentation and programme coordination.

This experience strengthened my commercial awareness and provided an early foundation in project management principles, complementing my technical electrical background
