These professionals are are involved in designing and commissioning electrical installations. Their role involves technical and infrastructure-related aspects which ensure that the work is executed properly and in the proposed conditions. They are responsible for resolving any issues related to the installation and future operation of the infrastructure, from the description of the process, to the design, acquisition of necessary equipment, execution of the work and finally the comissioning of the installations. This is a technical role which requires large amounts of collaboration with other departments, as well as often involving leading multidisciplinary teams.

• Coordinate planning of the project. Responsible for organising and dimensioning the project team, delegating roles and tasks to each member, setting targets, workloads and working hours, etc.
• Participate in the design phase for electrical installation projects for residential, tertiary and healthcare building projects, as well as in other fields, depending on the nature of the company. Within this role they are responsible for:
  - Developing the detail engineering phase. Following the definition phase of the project, they are responsible for the implementation phase, establishing the definitive plans and documentation (one-line diagrams, equipment implementation, route plans, power distribution plans, etc.).
  - Making calculations (load flow, dimensions of machines, engine ignition tests, etc..), present final reports, specifications, budgets and documentation necessary to complete the project.
• Manage the acquisition of machines and electrical equipment.
• Where appropriate, oversee the process of obtaining legal approval for the installations designed.
• Offer technical support on site and oversee ongoing projects.
• Coordinate and manage small project teams (between 1 and 10 workers).
• May occasionally be required to train members of the team or other parties involved in the project.
• Assist with the commissioning of installations alongside the relevant manager(s).

Management

The organisation, administration and control of a company or entity are the main interests of people related to the management field. Activities included in this field of interest vary from effective resource management, feasibility analyses and solving business problems to the development of skills and fostering of motivation in relation to human resources. Knowledge regarding specific techniques of strategic administration and business management are required to carry out these activities.

Logistics

The planning, organisation, control and carrying out of logistics and administrative tasks are the focus of people who work in the field of logistics. Activities in the field of logistics include the organisation and planning of supply, storage, production and distribution systems, taking inventories, controlling stock and estimating production, as well as the organisation and/or carrying out of the administrative tasks necessary for the implementation of these activities. Knowledge of organisation, control and management techniques is essential for carrying out these activities.

Technician

People who show an interest in the technical field find fulfilment in carrying out activities related to the design and manufacture of objects, machines, vehicles and/or infrastructures. These activities require the application of scientific and technical knowledge (laws of physics, calculations and mathematical formulas, properties of the materials, etc). Creativity is also necessary when coming up with optimal solutions for the functional requirements of the products to be designed. Therefore, the pragmatic application of scientific knowledge in order to develop solutions for the benefit of human beings is the main function of occupations in the technical field.
