Review key technical information including submittals, shop drawings, O&M documentation, warranties and compliance certificates.
Represent Nscale in OFCI and infrastructure governance forums, bringing independent site insight to challenge programme status and reporting.
Track OFCI change control, substitutions, late procurement items and NCR resolution, escalating programme impacts as required.
Monitor Substation and associated infrastructure delivery to maintain visibility of energisation readiness.
Provide concise owner-facing reports based on direct site observations, supplier engagement and governance inputs.
Skills & Competencies Required
Strong OFCI programme management experience, including owner-side tracking, vendor engagement and delivery risk management.
Hands-on inspection capability across equipment and on-site construction works.
Credible site presence, with confidence engaging GC teams, vendors, logistics providers and manufacturer representatives.
Working knowledge of substation delivery, grid connection interfaces and large-scale electrical infrastructure. (Advantageous)
Ability identify delivery risks across OFCI, infrastructure and construction workstreams.
Clear communicator able to represent the owner in governance forums and provide concise reporting.
Strong judgement in identifying non-conformance, interface gaps and emerging site risks.
Experience Profile
8–10+ years’ experience in OFCI coordination, infrastructure project management or owner’s representative roles on major construction or critical facilities programmes.
Proven experience managing high-volume OFCI packages with a strong field-based delivery component.
Hands-on FAT, supplier inspection and site acceptance experience for electrical and/or mechanical plant.
