QA/QC Busbar Specialist – Support

Position Type: Full-Time, Immediate Start Required

Education Requirement: Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent

Reporting To:

• Electrical Coordinator
• Electrical Team Lead

The Busbar Specialist – Support & Assembly is responsible for performing comprehensive QA/QC oversight of busbar installations in a mission-critical project. The role includes inspection of mechanical supports, alignment, jointing, insulation, earthing, termination interfaces, and compliance with all busbar installation standards and project requirements. This role is site-based, technically intensive, and requires a relevant engineering degree, along with immediate availability due to project urgency.

1. Busbar Installation QA/QC

• Inspect and verify installation of LV/MV busbar trunking systems including:
• Riser busbars
• Horizontal distribution busbars
• Tap-off boxes
• Feeder busbars to data hall PDUs/RPPs
• Ensure busbars are installed per IFC drawings, approved shop drawings, manufacturer manuals, and project specifications.
• Check alignment, straightness, clearances, routing, and mechanical integrity.

2. Mechanical Support & Assembly Verification

• Inspect busbar support systems including brackets, hangers, cleats, suspensions, and seismic supports where applicable.
• Ensure support spacing, torqueing, and structural anchoring meet project requirements.
• Verify proper enclosure assembly, phase sequence, and joint integrity.

3. Insulation, Earthing & Continuity

• Inspect busbar joint insulation kits, protective covers, and IP-rated enclosures.
• Verify proper earthing/bonding of busbars, tap-off boxes, and supports as per standards.
• Confirm continuity and bonding path integrity in preparation for testing and energization.

4. Jointing, Fastening & Interfaces

• Monitor and verify torqueing of busbar joints as per manufacturer torque schedules.
• Ensure correct installation of joint packs, contact surfaces, and thermal expansion allowances.
• Confirm correct installation of tap-off units, breakers, and downstream feeder interfaces.

5. Pre-Commissioning Readiness

• Verify busbar systems are ready for electrical and commissioning checks including:
• Insulation resistance (IR) testing
• Continuity and polarity checks
• Mechanical tightness and enclosure integrity
• Earthing continuity validation
• Ensure busbar routes are clean, sealed, and safely accessible before energization.

6. QA/QC Documentation & Reporting

• Prepare and maintain documents including:
• Work Inspection Requests (WIRs)
• Material Inspection Requests (MIRs)
• NCRs (Non-Conformance Reports)
• Joint torque records
• Busbar inspection checklists
• Daily reports and punch-list updates
• Ensure documentation aligns with project ITPs and quality plans.

7. Coordination & Issue Resolution

• Coordinate works with electrical, civil, mechanical, and cable containment teams for routing clearances and in-wall/in-slab interfaces.
• Identify installation issues, clashes, and non-compliances early and escalate promptly.
• Support subcontractors in adhering to QA/QC requirements.

8. Compliance & Safety

• Ensure all installations comply with:
• IEC/BS/NEMA standards for busbar systems
• Manufacturer installation requirements
• Project specification, method statements, and ITPs
• Reinforce safety protocols when working around heavy components, elevated locations, energization areas, and mechanical lifting.

Qualifications & Experience

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).
• Immediate availability.

Experience Requirements

• 3–8 years of experience in LV/MV busbar installation, assembly, or QA/QC.
• Strong exposure to:
• Busbar trunking systems (Schneider, LS, Eaton, Siemens, etc.)
• Mechanical support systems
• Electrical distribution in large technical facilities
• Mission-critical project experience is highly preferred.

Skills & Competencies

• Strong ability to interpret electrical layouts, busbar routing drawings, and manufacturer assembly details.
• Excellent attention to detail with a quality-first mindset.
• Strong understanding of earthing, bonding, IP ratings, and mechanical support verification.
• Good communication skills to coordinate with multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to work in fast-paced, high-density technical environments.

Work Environment

• Site-based in data halls, electrical rooms, risers, service corridors, and external plant areas.
• Requires hands-on inspection, work at height, and movement through congested technical spaces.
