Electrical Field Engineer

Project Overview

The project is a 1.3 GW simple-cycle power generation facility located in Millersport, Ohio, being constructed adjacent to a hyperscale data center campus. The facility includes multiple power generation technologies consisting of Solar Titan 130 gas turbines, Siemens SGT
800 gas turbines, reciprocating engines, battery energy storage systems (BESS), substations, and associated balance of plant infrastructure.

The scope includes major civil, mechanical, electrical, structural, underground utility, control systems, and commissioning works required to support phased energization and turnover of the facility. Construction will be executed through a combination of direct hire and subcontracted labor supported by modularization, pre‑assembly, off‑site warehousing, and advanced work packaging methodologies.

Supports field execution of underground electrical infrastructure including duct banks, Trenwa systems, grounding, handholes, earthing systems, and temporary power distribution. Responsible for technical coordination, quantity tracking, inspection support, redline management, and ensuring underground electrical systems are installed in accordance with project drawings, specifications, and turnover requirements. #LI-RM1
