The Electrical Team Leader for the fabrication and production workshop is responsible for the safe, code-compliant, and on-schedule delivery of all electrical works across SELA's event, exhibition, and show productions — from workshop pre-build through final on-site power-up and strike. He/she will coordinate with the Installation, Rigging, AV, and Design teams to ensure that power distribution, show lighting circuits, control cabling, and electrical fit-outs are built, tested, transported, and installed to the highest safety and quality standards, on time and within budget. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring strong technical proficiency in electrical systems for live events, combined with the ability to lead and develop a site-based electrical crew.
Key Responsibilities
1. Production & Supervision
- Workflow Management: Plan and schedule electrical works for each project, aligning with the overall production and installation timeline.
- Pre-fabrication & Testing: Ensure all power distribution boards, cable looms, control panels, and lighting/electrical assemblies are built, tested (PAT/continuity/load testing), and signed off in the workshop before dispatch to venue.
- Packing & Loading: Supervise the safe packing, labelling, and loading of cables, distros, fixtures, and electrical equipment to prevent damage or loss in transit.
- Resource Management: Monitor manpower, electrical materials, consumables, and tools, and requisition or secure them as required to avoid site delays.
- Quality Control: Inspect all electrical installations, temporary power distribution, and lighting/AV power circuits to ensure compliance with design specifications, SASO/Saudi Electrical Code requirements, and client quality standards.
2. Health, Safety & Compliance
- Risk Management: Develop and enforce Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) for temporary power, generator hook-ups, and on-site electrical installations.
- Safety Enforcement: Ensure all team members comply with Health & Safety policies, including LOTO (lock-out/tag-out) procedures, RCD/earthing protection, safe use of PPE, and safe handling of power tools and test equipment.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all temporary electrical installations meet Saudi Electrical Code, civil defense, and venue-specific electrical safety requirements for public events.
- Housekeeping: Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workshop and site environment (5S standards), with cabling and distribution runs managed to eliminate trip and fire hazards.
3. Team Leadership & Communication
- On-site Leadership: Lead daily site electrical operations and allocate tasks to electricians and technicians, ensuring efficient use of manpower to meet load-in and show-ready deadlines.
- Coaching & Mentoring: Train and mentor junior electricians and technicians on power distribution, cable management, lighting circuits, and tool/equipment safety.
- Performance Monitoring: Conduct daily toolbox talks and team briefings, monitor crew performance, and provide feedback to improve efficiency and reduce rework or snags.
- Project Liaison: Liaise with production managers, lighting/AV designers, riggers, and site management to provide progress updates, resolve technical bottlenecks, and ensure a seamless power-up for every show or activation
