• Field Engineering responsibilities include closeout redlines, test audits, lessons learned, warranties, and product submittals.
• Manage redlines and changes to the Statement of Work (SoW); field engineers coordinate with leads and superintendents to submit redlines to engineering.
• Engineering creates internal calendars to track tasks and finalize dates; build-out often involves extensive redlining for measurements, equipment placements, grounding, and bonding.
• Field Engineers verify infrastructure against design/specifications and finalize redlines for closeout when changes occur.
• Fiber scope uses an internal tracker to reflect past changes;
  Field Engineers verify Fiber deliverables per IES customer designs.
• Copper scope uses an internal tracker to confirm close-out readiness;
  Field Engineer acts as point of contact to ensure installation aligns with print and performs redlines as needed.
• Network scope involves configuring details when redlines are required, with the Field Engineer taking primary responsibility.
• RFI referencing/implementation:
  Field Engineer references RFIs in redlines as a final task before QA review.
• Test Audits:
  Field Engineers run and verify audits after project completion, verify cable schedules, and compile audit-friendly packaging for the team; ensure 100% alignment with prints.
• Audits begin when areas are ready; conduct re-tests as needed and communicate expected completion dates; finalize audits after retests are completed.
• Lessons Learned:
  Update across engineers and QA during builds; finalize the standardized lessons learned template at project end using the lessons learned tracker.
