Lead Field Tech Coordinator

Project Overview:

The rapid growth of AI and digitalization is fueling unprecedented demand for data centers that require large, reliable sources of energy. In response to this market trend, the Renewables & Clean Power (RCP) team has signed an early works contract to build one of the largest gas-fired power generation facilities in the U.S. Our team is helping the customer progress early-stage development, that would lead to the start of full EPC delivery in 2026.

The candidate will act as the Field Systems Technician on the Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) Project in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The candidate may start in the home office in Reston-VA to support planning, ahead of project mobilization to the field, when the candidate will locate on a long-term assignment to the project in Cheyenne, Wyoming. This position is contingent upon project award.

Reporting to the EPC Automation lead role, the Lead Field Tech Coordinator is responsible for the implementation, configuration and support of jobsite digital/automation applications. The successful candidate can expect to deploy a broad range of automation, innovation, and AI solutions in the field.

Working under the direction of the EPC Automation Lead, this position works with the site team to help implement digital solutions - mobile applications, configurations, troubleshoot system issues, prepare dashboards, documentation, and assist with user support and training. This role contributes to the overall digital delivery strategy and ensures site teams can effectively use automation tools to drive safe and efficient execution.
