Electrician (Fit out experience)

Electrician Responsibilities (Interior Fit-Out)

1. Planning and Interpretation

• Drawing Review: Reading and accurately interpreting architectural reflected ceiling plans (RCPs), single-line diagrams, schematic diagrams, and MEP coordination drawings to determine the exact placement, routing, and connection requirements for all electrical devices.
• Layout and Marking: Marking and setting out the exact locations for power outlets, switches, light fixtures, data points, and distribution boards according to the approved layout.
• Clash Management: Proactively identifying and resolving potential clashes between electrical conduits/fittings and other services (HVAC ducts, plumbing) within false ceilings and wall cavities.

2. Specialized Installation Work

• Lighting Systems: Installation and connection of a wide variety of specialized and decorative lighting, including:
• Recessed/Downlights, LED strip lighting, track lighting, chandeliers, and custom architectural fixtures.
• Ensuring correct positioning and alignment of fixtures for aesthetic results, as per the RCP.
• Power and Connectivity: Installation of all medium-voltage systems:
• Installing and wiring power sockets, floor boxes, wall sockets, and specialized appliance outlets (e.g., for kitchen equipment).
• Installing and terminating data, telephone, and network cabling (Structured Cabling Systems).
• Distribution Boards (DBs): Installing, wiring, connecting, and labeling sub-main and final distribution boards, ensuring correct load balancing and circuit segregation.
• Extra-Low Voltage (ELV) Systems: Installing and terminating components for low-voltage systems, often including:
• Fire Alarm System wiring and device mounting (smoke detectors, heat detectors).
• Security Systems (CCTV, access control, motion sensors).
• Public Address (PA) and Sound Systems.

3. Testing, Commissioning, and Handover

• Pre-Commissioning Checks: Performing continuity, polarity, and insulation resistance tests on all installed wiring and circuits prior to system energization.
• System Testing: Conducting functional tests on all lighting, power circuits, and ELV systems to ensure they operate according to design specifications.
• Load Balancing: Measuring phase loads at distribution boards and making adjustments to ensure even load distribution across circuits.
• Defect Rectification: Rapidly identifying and rectifying any electrical defects ("snags") identified during client/consultant inspections to meet project handover deadlines.
• Documentation: Marking up site drawings (red-lining) to create accurate As-Built drawings reflecting the final installation and completing all necessary test certificates.

In short, a fit-out electrician must be a highly skilled installer who combines technical compliance with the aesthetic demands of interior design, working quickly and neatly within finished or soon-to-be-finished spaces.
