• Lead and coordinate site teams, subcontractors and multidisciplinary interfaces across greenfield and brownfield projects
• Oversee construction, installation and repair of overhead lines and MV/HV reticulation networks (up to 132 kV)
• Manage installation of MV switchgear, mini-substations, Ring Main Units, and MV joints/terminations
• Drive HSE compliance and quality assurance across all site activities, in line with ISO 9001/45001 standards
• Act as the primary technical and client-facing point of contact on site, resolving construction constraints, technical queries and schedule risks
• Coordinate QA/QC inspections, testing, punch list close-out and project handover

• Proven track record as a Construction Manager / Superintendent within E&I construction, ideally within an EPC/EPCM or turnkey contracting environment
• Demonstrable, hands-on experience in overhead line installation and/or repair - this is a non-negotiable requirement, not a nice-to-have
• Solid working knowledge of MV/HV reticulation, switchgear, substations and related electrical infrastructure
• Strong contractor and subcontractor management experience, with the ability to manage multiple workfronts simultaneously
• Relevant technical qualification (Electrical Engineering / Electrical Trade Test / equivalent), plus current HSE certifications (e.g. Working at Heights, Construction Regulations)
• Willingness and ability to work on project sites across South Africa and the broader African continent
• Valid driver's licence and passport; own transport advantageous
