Summary
Specialist who inspects and checks whether the installation or construction of electrical equipment complies with laws and standards to ensure safety.

Electrical construction inspectors confirm whether electrical equipment construction complies with laws and standards such as the Electricity Business Act and Electrical Equipment Technical Standards. They conduct drawing reviews before construction, various measurement tests during and after construction (insulation resistance, ground resistance, current/voltage measurements, etc.), and compile inspection results into reports. They collaborate with construction supervisors, designers, and supervising government agencies, issue corrective instructions as necessary, and work to maintain safety and quality.
