Electrical Field Engineer

Assignment: Expected to last 12-18 months

Start: ASAP – candidates must be able to mobilize to the site quickly

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Field Engineer / QA-QC professional to provide onsite construction support for a large, complex mission-critical facility and substation. This position will work directly with electrical contractors and the engineering/design team to verify construction quality, interpret design requirements, resolve field issues, and support timely project execution.

This is a field-focused construction position rather than a traditional office-based design engineering role.
Medium-voltage electrical experience is required.

• Provide onsite electrical construction and QA/QC support.
• Review electrical installations against drawings, specifications, one-lines, and design intent.
• Inspect and evaluate medium-voltage distribution systems and associated equipment.
• Support installation, testing, energization, startup, and turnover activities.
• Identify installation deficiencies, field conflicts, and construction issues requiring corrective action.
• Work directly with electrical contractors to investigate and resolve field conditions.
• Review electrical construction drawings, one-line diagrams, equipment documentation, and specifications.
• Support field activities involving switch gear, transformers, distribution equipment, and related systems.
• Document field observations, quality concerns, deficiencies, and corrective actions.
• Resolve appropriate field issues independently while quickly escalating design-related questions to the Engineer of Record/design team.
• Coordinate electrical work with mechanical, controls, and other project disciplines.

• 5+ years of relevant electrical construction, engineering, commissioning, or QA/QC experience.
• Hands-on medium-voltage electrical experience required.
• Strong knowledge of medium-voltage distribution, transformers, switch gear, and associated electrical equipment.
• Experience with electrical installation, testing, energization, startup, and/or commissioning.
• Ability to interpret electrical one-lines, construction drawings, specifications, and equipment documentation.
• Significant onsite construction and contractor coordination experience.
• Strong QA/QC mindset and ability to recognize installation or construction deficiencies.
• Ability to work independently and make sound field decisions within assigned authority.
• Strong communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills.
• Data center or power-generation experience strongly preferred; comparable large-infrastructure experience will be considered.
• Engineering degree preferred but not required with significant relevant field experience.
