  • Chair or contribute to electrical safety briefings, toolbox talks and coordination meetings with the general contractor and MEP subcontractors
  • Ensure compliance with German electrical safety legislation and site EHS requirements, working alongside the site safety team and any appointed VEFK
  • Maintain full documentation and traceability of all switching, isolation and permit activity to an auditable standard
Essential Requirements:
  • Proven experience as an Energy Marshal, Senior Authorised Person, Authorised Person or equivalent electrical safety authority on data centre or comparable mission critical projects
  • Strong working knowledge of HV, MV and LV distribution systems including switchgear, transformers, UPS, standby generation and busbar
  • Demonstrable experience operating a permit to work system on a live or partially energised site
  • Experience producing and verifying switching programmes
  • Confident assessing and authorising third party electrical personnel
  • Ability to hold the line on safety standards under commercial and programme pressure
  • Relevant electrical qualification and current authorisation or the ability to be authorised on appointment
