Oversee the completion of electrical system engineering work in the power industry

This standard is about overseeing the completion of electrical system engineering work in the power industry up to the point of customer boundaries.   This could apply to engineering work on both electrical transmission or electrical distribution networks and could typically apply to voltages from low voltage up to and including transmission voltages such as 400,000 volts. Operations could be aligned with systems using traditional or emerging energy technologies. 
This standard includes allocating tasks and briefing team members, monitoring work implementation, dealing with issues, liaising with others and completing documentation. 
This standard is for anyone working for network operators or their sub-contractors who is responsible for overseeing the completion of electrical system engineering work. This could include those involved with operational delivery, asset management and electrical project management. This could be carried out by people with different levels of authorisation, but in each case, they may be required to have a degree of supervision which is required for their individual level of authority.

1. Make sure specified resources and personnel are arranged to carry out scheduled work
2. Interpret technical specifications and construction and electrical system diagrams and drawings that are related to the work so that electrical power principles, regulatory and organisational requirements are met when allocating daily tasks
3. Brief team members at relevant points so that their work meets quality, safety and operational network schedule requirements
4. Monitor the implementation of work in line with organisational procedures, ensuring tasks are completed in line with plans and operational network priorities
5. Check asset and component condition and performance in line with organisational procedures while work is being carried out, to ensure the ongoing safety of all working parties and any third parties which may be affected
6. Manage work to meet the regulatory and legislative requirements that are relevant to the project work being carried out
7. Apply environmental and sustainability procedures in compliance with regulations, standards and industry guidelines
8. Ensure that work is completed in line with health and safety policies, procedures and electricity network safe systems of work
9. Collaborate with people from other disciplines and external stakeholders in line with organisational procedures when required to facilitate the completion of work
10. Implement control procedures in line with safety regulations and organisational procedures
11. Implement contingency plans in response to emerging situations in line with safety regulations and organisational procedures
12. Escalate issues that you cannot resolve to the designated person in line with personal responsibility and organisational procedures
13. Complete required documentation for the project work activity in line with organisational and operational procedures
14. Carry out all work within the remits of own authority and under the supervision of suitably authorised personnel when required.
