Construction Manager

Construction System Owner (CSO) – Electrical & Instrumentation

Location:

Lebanon, OH

Role Overview

The

Construction System Owner (CSO) – Electrical & Instrumentation

provides

field‑based technical oversight and construction coordination

for electrical distribution, control systems, and instrumentation installations during the construction phase of a large, GMP‑regulated pharmaceutical project.

Acting as the

Electrical & Instrumentation discipline technical authority in the field

, this role ensures installations align with approved IFC drawings, validated submittals, technical specifications, and applicable GMP and regulatory requirements. The CSO supports system energization, commissioning readiness, and post‑Mechanical Completion (MC) system management across a multi‑building campus.

The role interfaces with Client SMEs as required.

Means and methods, construction sequencing, and contractor execution remain the responsibility of the Main Contractor.

Formal construction quality inspection and acceptance remain with the Construction Quality organization, with defined overlap where technical support is required (including first‑in‑place installation approvals with Client SME alignment).

Key Accountabilities

- Serve as the

Electrical & Instrumentation discipline technical point of contact

to the Project Manager and project leadership.

- Confirm installations align with:

- Approved IFC design documentation

- Technical specifications and validated submittals

- Project installation requirements

- Applicable GMP and regulatory expectations

- Identify, document, and escalate installation constraints or risks that may impact:

- System functionality and operability

- Construction progress

- Energization readiness

- Commissioning, qualification, and turnover activities

- Support coordination between electrical/instrumentation systems and other disciplines including process equipment, mechanical systems, automation, and CSA (civil, structural, architectural).

- Provide regular updates to project leadership on installation progress, integration readiness, and emerging risks.

- Support required meeting cadence and project reporting.

Post‑Mechanical Completion (MC) Responsibilities

- Manage and operate

Post‑MC Non‑CQ systems and Non‑CQ areas

until TCCC (Turnover to Commissioning Completion).

- Support

building‑specific system TCCC

, Certificate of Occupancy (CO) alignment, and governance across a multi‑building campus.

- Set resourcing and governance needed to manage

Non‑CQ and CQ system interfaces between MC and TCCC

.

- Support project activities post‑MC, including piping works through proposed support teams where required.

Core Responsibilities

- Provide

field‑based technical oversight

of electrical and instrumentation installations, including:

- Power distribution systems

- Control panels

- Field instrumentation

- Cabling and signal routing

- Confirm installation readiness for:

- Switchgear, MCCs, transformers, UPS systems, and emergency power systems

- Cable trays, field devices, and instrumentation

- Identify constructability issues, access constraints, and interface conflicts and escalate through project governance.

- Coordinate interfaces between electrical, instrumentation, automation systems, and process equipment.

- Maintain field observation records documenting installation progress, risks, and integration challenges.

- Participate in coordination meetings, system walkdowns, and readiness reviews.

- Support energization and commissioning readiness by confirming installations are fully integrated.

- Identify punch list items and support resolution activities.

- Confirm turnover documentation is complete and aligned with project requirements.

Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in

Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering

, or a related discipline.

- 10+ years of field experience

supporting electrical and instrumentation installations on large pharmaceutical or GMP‑regulated capital projects.

- Strong knowledge of applicable codes and standards, including:

- NFPA 70 (NEC)

- IEC standards

- ATEX

(preferred)

- Instrumentation and controls best practices

- Experience with:

- Electrical distribution systems (switchgear, transformers, MCCs, UPS, emergency power)

- Instrumentation and control systems (field instruments, control panels, signal wiring, loop verification)

- Experience supporting inspections, energization readiness, commissioning preparation, and turnover documentation.

- Strong understanding of

GMP construction practices and documentation requirements

.

- Proven ability to identify and communicate installation risks, technical deviations, and quality concerns.

- Effective collaborator with engineering, construction, CQV, automation, and project leadership teams.

Important Role Clarifications

- This role does

not

direct contractor means and methods, craft labor, or construction sequencing.

- Construction quality ownership remains with the

Construction Quality organization

.

- The CSO role focuses on

technical oversight, coordination, system integration, and readiness

.
