Electrical Field Engineer - Utility Scale Solar

Your Job

DEPCOM Power, a Koch Engineered Solutions company, is looking for an Electrical Field Engineer to support construction activities at utility‑scale solar sites. This role is ideal for an engineer with a strong electrical background who enjoys working in a fast‑paced field environment and supporting complex electrical and high‑voltage (HV) systems during construction.

While team members may reside anywhere in the U.S., they are assigned to project sites for extended periods based on business needs, with home trip rotations typically occurring every 3‑4 weeks. Project assignments are based on business needs and may change as new projects are awarded and staffing requirements evolve. Current hiring needs are focused on projects in:

• Sycamore, OH
• London, OH

This position is not eligible for VISA Sponsorship.

The Field Engineering role supports both self‑perform and contracted construction of utility‑scale Solar and BESS EPC projects. This role provides superior value to our customers by orchestrating seamless field operations. This is achieved through strong communication, collaboration, and responsible, creative problem‑solving, ensuring projects are constructed on time and in compliance with design, laws, codes, and requirements.

• Support on‑site construction activities with a focus on electrical and high‑voltage systems, including collection systems, substations, and interconnection‑related infrastructure
• Coordinate inspections and facilitate discussions with local, county, and state Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), particularly for electrical and HV components
• Create and conduct First Article Inspections (FAIs) to verify electrical installations are constructed to design specifications and standards
• Document and maintain construction and engineering drawings, including red‑line sets for electrical and HV scopes
• Compose and manage Requests for Information (RFIs) between construction teams, engineers, vendors, and long‑term project owners
• Review electrical construction material submittals and verify compliance with project specifications
• Hold subcontractors and self‑perform teams accountable to their scopes of work, with emphasis on electrical quality and safety
• Assist in preparation of electrical specifications, data sheets, and other pre‑construction planning deliverables
• Proactively manage project constraints through collaboration with project management, engineering, and construction personnel
• Maintain stormwater documentation logs and coordinate remediation as needed
• Operate drones to capture construction progress, quality issues, and field conditions

• Professional electrical experience in an industrial, utility‑scale, or power generation environment
• Experience supporting field construction activities under schedule‑driven deadlines
• Experience creating reports, tracking issues, and compiling field data
• Experience working effectively in a collaborative, team‑based environment

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering
• Experience with high‑voltage (HV) electrical systems, including substations, collection systems, and grid interconnection infrastructure
• Experience supporting electrical scopes on utility‑scale solar projects
• Previous experience in a Field Engineering, Project Engineering, or Construction Management role within Renewables or Oil & Energy
• Familiarity with electrical codes, standards, and inspection requirements applicable to large‑scale power projects
• Experience operating drones or possession of an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) license
• Experience in a leadership role or acting as an on‑site electrical point of contact
• Experience communicating in multi‑lingual environments

For this role, we anticipate paying $80,000 – $110,000 per year. This role is eligible for variable pay, issued as a monetary bonus or in another form.
