Produce above ground earthing layouts to communicate to site installation teams how to connect structures, plant and equipment to the main earthing system in accordance with the relevant standards
Produce accurate technical reports, correspondence, documentation, calculations
Produce specifications for major items of plant such as disconnectors and contribute to the production of specifications for more complex items such as circuit breakers
Produce switchroom and control room earthing layout drawings and wall elevations
Produce switchroom and control room heating, lighting & ventilation layout drawings & elevations including block diagrams to convey LV AC details
Produce switchroom and control room cable management drawings and elevations
Produce site wide ducting / cabling layout drawings
Possess a working understanding of G81 standards and DNO's approved equipment registers
Produce earthing materials schedules to convey requirements to site installation teams
Interface with the procurement team to provide suitable specifications where necessary and approve the cable data sheets prior to purchase ensuring they meet the project requirements, employers requirements and appropriate British and European standards
