Job Description - Project Manager MEP & EV Charging Infrastructure

Own end -to -end delivery of CATEC’s EV
charging infrastructure projects in The UAE — from utility authority approval
through commissioning and handover — so that Client sites go live on schedule,
on budget, and right -first -time.

  1. Deliver 100 % of assigned EV charging sites on agreed
    scope, schedule and budget
    — typical portfolio:
    8–15 concurrent sites ranging from AC 11 kW installs to multi -stall DC
    fast -charging hubs (120–1000 kW) and byond.

  2. Close authority approvals across TAQA, DEWA / FEWA /
    SEWA
    with zero
    re -submission cycles caused by avoidable errors — measured by first -pass
    approval rate.

  3. Reduce average authority approval cycle time by 25 % through templated submissions, pre -engagement, and consultant management.
  4. Manage sub -contractor performance against a published RAID + KPI scorecard; protect CATEC’s margin
    and HSE record.

  5. Hand over sites to Client Operations with complete
    as -built documentation, O&M manuals, warranty registers, and HSE close -out
    files
    — measured by zero hand -over rejections.
  • Run the
    project lifecycle: kickoff, design coordination, BOQ validation, procurement,
    mobilisation, execution, commissioning, snagging, handover.

  • Lead
    utility authority submissions: load applications, SLDs, ELVs, civil drawings,
    transformer / substation interface, NOC chasing.

  • Liaise
    daily with TAQA, DMT, ADM, DPM, OSHAD and other Emirates Authorities inspectors
    / consultants — keep them moving.

  • Manage
    vendors and sub -contractors: civil, electrical, fibre / telecoms, signage.
    Tender, award, supervise, certify.

  • Maintain
    project controls: schedule (MSP / Primavera or Zoho Projects), cost log, change
    orders, RAID register, weekly client + internal reports.

  • Run site
    HSE in line with OSHAD v4.0 + TAQA Distribution standards — toolbox talks, PTW,
    LOTO, near -miss logging.

  • Coordinate
    with CATEC’s commercial team on customer -facing milestones, snags, and
    acceptance.

  • Use
    CATEC’s stack — Zoho Projects, Zoho
    Books (cost actuals), Zuper (field service), Zoho CRM, Gallabox (WhatsApp
    comms), Microsoft 365 — to keep status, costs, and comms in one auditable
    trail.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BEng / BSc Electrical Engineering or Electrical & Electronics)
    from a recognised institution.
