What You'll Be DoingJob Scope: The Field Electrical Engineer will provide dedicated on-site electrical construction support. The role is focused on execution-phase support, interface management, and electrical system readiness for a large compressor station with constrained utility power and interim power bridge / on-site generation solutions. This position is not a design role. It is a field-execution and integration role requiring strong construction experience, practical NEC knowledge, and the ability to resolve electrical issues in real time in a construction environment.
Primary responsibilities will include but not be limited to:1. Electrical Construction Support (Primary Function)
- Act as the owner's on-site electrical representative supporting the Construction Manager, inspectors, and project team.
- Provide daily field oversight to ensure electrical installation activities align with:
- IFC drawings
- Approved one-lines 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 constructability issues early and coordinate resolution before they become rework or schedule risks.
- Support electrical scope in compressor buildings, E-houses, switchgear, 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.
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.
- Verify interfaces between generators, switchgear, 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.
This position offers a highly competitive compensation package, including paid time off, health insurance benefits, and matching retirement contributions.
Ideal BackgroundEducation: Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university is required.
Registration: Professional Engineering registration is highly preferred.
Experience: This position requires 8+ years of relevant industrial experience in electrical and instrumentation engineering.
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities- 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.
- Previous experience on compressor station or similar large industrial infrastructure projects.
- Experience with power systems interfaces involving generators, switchgear, MCCs, and protection systems.
- Experience supporting late-stage design changes and accelerated construction schedules.
- Prior experience acting as an owner's field representative.
- 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.
Physical Requirements- Ability to sit, stand, or walk for long periods of time.
