Tell me about a time you supervised subcontractors on site. How did you keep quality and safety up?
What they are checking: Whether they can hold others to standards without having formal authority over them.
How do you work with commissioning engineers once your installation is done?
What they are checking: Whether they see the project as a team effort and support a smooth handover to commissioning.
Tell me about an installation that went wrong. What did you learn?
What they are checking: Whether they can reflect honestly on mistakes and change how they work afterward.
What would you do
You notice during installation that the design will be hard to maintain later. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they speak up with improvement ideas instead of just building what is on paper.
A customer on site asks you to change something that isn't in the drawings. How do you handle it?
What they are checking: Whether they protect the project scope while staying polite and helpful to the customer.
How do you make sure your project documentation is complete and on time when the work on site is busy?
What they are checking: Whether they treat paperwork as part of the job rather than something to rush at the end.
About the work
Walk me through how you read an electrical drawing before you start an installation.

What experience do you have with plastic welding, and how do you check that a weld is good?
What they are checking: Whether they know DVS or IR welding well enough to produce joints that will not fail under pressure.
What does working to NEN3140 mean for you on site?
What they are checking: Whether they understand electrical safety rules for working on or near installations, not just the name.
What VCA rules do you follow every day, and why do they matter on an industrial site?
What they are checking: Whether safety is a real habit for them rather than a certificate they hold.
