Responsibilities

Support implementation of the project energization and LOTO governance program within HES’ electrical scope of work.
Assist the Energy Marshal Manager with execution of the project-specific energization safety plan and related energy-control procedures.
Help coordinate energization planning with field supervision, commissioning representatives, the general contractor, vendor partners, and other project stakeholders.
Participate in energization readiness meetings, daily coordination meetings, and field planning discussions to confirm scope, sequencing, hazards, and required controls.
Assist with reviewing and organizing required documentation, including PTPs, LOTO plans, energization schedules, AHAs, equipment certifications, QA/QC records, and related closeout documentation.
Maintain organized, audit-ready energization and LOTO documentation in accordance with HES and project requirements.
Support daily updates to single-line diagrams, breaker schedules, energized equipment postings, LOTO tracking boards, and room status logs to reflect current field conditions.
Assist with verifying that LOTO procedures are properly applied, documented, monitored, and maintained throughout energized and de-energized work activities.
Support control of LOTO stations by helping verify locks, tags, permits, boundaries, authorization lists, and access requirements before switching or start-up activities begin.
Participate in pre-energization field inspections to confirm equipment condition, labeling, barriers, signage, access restrictions, QA/QC closeout status, and hazard boundaries are in place before energization activities proceed.
Assist with end-of-day verification checks to confirm equipment, electrical rooms, and controlled work areas are left in a safe and secure condition.
Maintain a strong field presence in electrical rooms, energized gear areas, energization preparation zones, and locations where switching, testing, or commissioning activities occur.
Communicate observed risks, documentation gaps, equipment status changes, and field-level issues to the Energy Marshal Manager and applicable project leadership.
Assist with validating qualified-worker status, training documentation, and project orientation requirements for personnel involved in LOTO, switching, energized work, or work on de-energized electrical components.
Support commissioning and turnover activities by helping communicate equipment availability, system status, access limitations, and readiness conditions.
Reinforce expectations for energized work boundaries, controlled access, human-performance awareness, and high-risk activity management in the field.
Ensure all activities remain within HES authority, focused on energy-control support, field verification, documentation accuracy, and safe execution within the electrical scope of work.
