Field Electrical Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

1. Electrical Construction Support (Primary Function)

• Act as the owner’s onsite electrical representative supporting the Construction Manager, inspectors, and project team.
  
• Provide daily field oversight to ensure electrical installation activities align with:
  
• IFC drawings
  
• Approved online and schematics
  
• Vendor documentation
  
• Project electrical standards and NEC requirements
  
• Verify electrical installations in the field, including routing, clearances, access, grounding, bonding, and equipment placement.
  
• Identify construct ability issues early and coordinate resolution before they become rework or schedule risks.
  
• Support electrical scope in compressor buildings, E?houses, switch gear, MCCs, grounding systems, lighting, and auxiliary systems.
  

2. RFI and Field Issue Management:

• Serve as the primary on?site focal point for electrical RFIs, field questions, and technical clarifications.
  
• Ensure contractors do not deviate from electrical drawings or specifications without following the formal RFI process.
  
• Collect and provide field data (photos, dimensions, conditions) needed for engineering resolution.
  
• Track RFIs, responses, and implementation status to closure.
  
• Escalate issues that present safety, code, cost, or schedule risk.
  

3. EMD Electrical Integration Support:

• Support field installation and integration of EMD?related electrical scope, including:
  
• Cable tray routing and support
  
• Power and control cable terminations
  
• Interface coordination between EMD equipment and station electrical systems
  
• Verify electrical interfaces do not obstruct equipment access, maintenance paths, or operational walkways.
  
• Coordinate with vendors, inspectors, and construction teams to ensure correct installation and sequencing.
  

4. On?Site Power Generation and Power Bridge Support:

• Provide field support for temporary or interim power bridge / on?site generation systems required due to limited utility availability.
  
• Support the installation, tie?in, grounding, and integration of on?site generators and associated electrical infrastructure.
  
• Verify interfaces between generators, switch gear, protection systems, and station distribution are installed per design and NEC.
  
• Assist with readiness for power transitions, testing, and staged energization activities.
  
• Coordinate with power systems engineers as needed to ensure field execution aligns with the approved power strategy.
  

5. NEC Compliance and Electrical Safety:

• Maintain a working, field?applicable knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
  
• Verify NEC compliance for:
  
• Grounding and bonding systems
  
• Equipment labeling and clearances
  
• Conductor sizing and installation methods
  
• Temporary power and generator connections
  
• Surge protection and protection coordination where applicable
  
• Identify and correct non?compliant installations before energization.
  
• Support a strong electrical safety culture on site.
  

6. Documentation, Redlines, and Turnover Support:

• Maintain accurate electrical redlines/as?builts based on field conditions.
  
• Ensure redlines are routinely transferred to engineering/document control for incorporation into record drawings.
  
• Support development and completion of:
  
• Electrical job books
  
• As?built documentation
  
• Test and inspection records
  
• Construction punch lists
  
• Assist with compiling electrical documentation required for commissioning and turnover.
  

7. Schedule, Progress, and Change Awareness:

• Support the Construction Manager by identifying electrical constraints that may impact schedule.
  
• Provide field input for evaluation of electrical change orders and scope changes.
  
• Assist with coordination of equipment deliveries and installation readiness for major electrical components.
  
• Identify opportunities to reduce delays and avoid rework through early issue identification.
  

8. Cross?Functional Coordination:

• Coordinate daily with construction management, inspectors, and discipline leads.
  
• Interface with engineering, vendors, and third?party contractors to resolve electrical field issues.
  
• Support alignment between base station electrical scope and power bridge scope to ensure seamless integration.
  

Requirements

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and hands?on electrical construction experience.
  
• Strong electrical construction support experience in industrial or energy facilities.
  
• Demonstrated experience supporting EMD or large rotating equipment electrical installations.
  
• Demonstrated experience with on?site power generation or temporary power systems.
  
• Working knowledge of NEC, with the ability to apply code requirements practically in the field.
  
• Experience managing RFIs, redlines, punch lists, and turnover documentation.
  
• Ability to work full?time on a construction site and communicate effectively with contractors and project leadership.
  

• Previous experience on compressor station or similar large industrial infrastructure projects.
  
• Experience with power systems interfaces involving generators, switch gear, MCCs, and protection systems.
  
• Experience supporting late?stage design changes and accelerated construction schedules.
  
• Prior experience acting as an owner’s field representative.
  

Performance Expectations:

• Electrical installations are executed safely, correctly, and in compliance with NEC and project requirements.
  
• Field electrical issues are identified early and resolved efficiently.
  
• RFIs, redlines, and turnover documentation are accurate and complete.
  
• Power bridge and on?site generation systems are installed and integrated without introducing commissioning risk.
