Additional description:

The ECiP is available to the project as a contact throughout its term. He or she is the direct contact for project management and sub-project management. Within EC, the ECiP functions as a link to EC team managers to the project.

Until the EC personnel (site project manager, SMBA, site construction manager, site manager electrical construction, site commissioning manager) join the project, the ECiP is responsible for their duties in the project. Following the project kick-off meeting with the respective managers, the ECiP hands over these duties to them.

The ECiP deals with queries in the areas of planning, construction, erection, test field and commissioning. Within EC, the ECiP coordinates project queries between the various EC experts and provides an answer directly to the project or via the expert. It is important here that the ECiP is involved in all queries in the above areas, to always provide support to the project.

The ECiP provides the project with feedback on all queries at an early stage. If they cannot be dealt with by EC, the ECiP will provide possible options.

As well as supporting the scope of the services to be provided by EC, the ECiP also monitors EC-relevant accounting. If an SPM/SMBA is being used in the project, the ECiP hands over the concurrent costing to the SPM/SMBA as part of the project kick-off meeting.

In the Grid Technologies (GT) business area, the ECiP coordinates the RFQ/DOR with head office and the regional unit.

He supports the drafting and processing of the erection contract.

At the request of bid management, the ECiP or EC specialist bid manager (BCM), as part of the bid process, provides support for technical clarifications and in drawing up documentation which is relevant to testing/erection/commissioning.

As part of scheduling, the ECiP provides ongoing support to project schedulers. The ECiP reviews the existing schedules from a critical point of view and provides recommendations on optimizing them. Individual cases are then clarified and detailed according to project progress. Resources required for project processing are identified and agreed/called up within EC.
