PURPOSE OF THE JOB
The Site Supervisor is responsible for the safe, reliable and efficient day-to-day execution of plant maintenance and operational activities at Aggeneys Solar PV Plant. The role is intentionally technical in nature, with the majority of time focused on maintenance execution, inspections, fault-finding support, work planning, quality control, asset performance and technical coordination.
The Site Supervisor also provides day-to-day people supervision and work coordination for the site workforce. The Site Supervisor retains line-supervisory responsibility for the Site Electrician and Semi-Skilled Workers; however, these employees work closely with the Site Technician, who provides technical direction, technical verification and technical input into their performance assessments. The Site Supervisor remains responsible for attendance, conduct, teamwork, work allocation, safety compliance, site coordination and overall work performance.
