Job Description

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and handson electrical construction experience.
• Strong electrical construction support experience in industrial or energy facilities.
• Demonstrated experience supporting EMD or large rotating equipment electrical installations.
• Demonstrated experience with onsite power generation or temporary power systems.
• Working knowledge of NEC, with the ability to apply code requirements practically in the field.
• Experience managing RFIs, redlines, punch lists, and turnover documentation.
• Ability to work full time on a construction site and communicate effectively with contractors and project leadership.

** Preferred Qualifications:**

• Previous experience on compressor station or similar large industrial infrastructure projects.
• Experience with power systems interfaces involving generators, switchgear, MCCs, and protection systems.
• Experience supporting late stage design changes and accelerated construction schedules.
• Prior experience acting as an owner’s field representative.

** Performance Expectations:**

• Electrical installations are executed safely, correctly, and in compliance with NEC and project requirements.
• Field electrical issues are identified early and resolved efficiently.
• RFIs, redlines, and turnover documentation are accurate and complete.
• Power bridge and on site generation systems are installed and integrated without introducing commissioning risk.

The Field Electrical Engineer will provide dedicated onsite electrical construction support for the SSE Station 165 project. The role is focused on execution phase support, interface management, and electrical system readiness for a large compressor station with constrained utility power and interim power bridge / on site generation solutions. This position is not a design role. It is a field execution and integration role requiring strong construction experience, practical NEC knowledge, and the ability to resolve electrical issues in real time in a construction environment.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Electrical Construction Support (Primary Function)

• Act as the owner’s on site electrical representative supporting the Construction Manager, inspectors, and project team.

• Provide daily field oversight to ensure electrical installation activities align with:- IFC drawings

  • Approved one lines and schematics
  • Vendor documentation
  • Project electrical standards and NEC requirements

• Verify electrical installations in the field, including routing, clearances, access, grounding, bonding, and equipment placement.

• Identify constructability issues early and coordinate resolution before they become rework or schedule risks.

• Support electrical scope in compressor buildings, E houses, switchgear, MCCs, grounding systems, lighting, and auxiliary systems.

2. RFI and Field Issue Management:

• Serve as the primary on site focal point for electrical RFIs, field questions, and technical clarifications.
• Ensure contractors do not deviate from electrical drawings or specifications without following the formal RFI process.
• Collect and provide field data (photos, dimensions, conditions) needed for engineering resolution.
• Track RFIs, responses, and implementation status to closure.
• Escalate issues that present safety, code, cost, or schedule risk.

3. EMD Electrical Integration Support:

• Support field installation and integration of EMD related electrical scope, including:- Cable tray routing and support

  • Power and control cable terminations
  • Interface coordination between EMD equipment and station electrical systems

• Verify electrical interfaces do not obstruct equipment access, maintenance paths, or operational walkways.

• Coordinate with vendors, inspectors, and construction teams to ensure correct installation and sequencing.

4. OnSite Power Generation and Power Bridge Support:

• Provide field support for temporary or interim power bridge / onsite generation systems required due to limited utility availability.
• Support the installation, tie in, grounding, and integration of on site generators and associated electrical infrastructure.
• Verify interfaces between generators, switchgear, protection systems, and station distribution are installed per design and NEC.
• Assist with readiness for power transitions, testing, and staged energization activities.
• Coordinate with power systems engineers as needed to ensure field execution aligns with the approved power strategy.

5. NEC Compliance and Electrical Safety:

• Maintain a working, field applicable knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC).

• Verify NEC compliance for:- Grounding and bonding systems

  • Equipment labeling and clearances
  • Conductor sizing and installation methods
  • Temporary power and generator connections
  • Surge protection and protection coordination where applicable

• Identify and correct non compliant installations before energization.

• Support a strong electrical safety culture on site.

6. Documentation, Redlines, and Turnover Support:

• Maintain accurate electrical redlines/as builts based on field conditions.

• Ensure redlines are routinely transferred to engineering/document control for incorporation into record drawings.

• Support development and completion of:- Electrical job books

  • As built documentation
  • Test and inspection records
  • Construction punch lists

• Assist with compiling electrical documentation required for commissioning and turnover.

7. Schedule, Progress, and Change Awareness:

• Support the Construction Manager by identifying electrical constraints that may impact schedule.
• Provide field input for evaluation of electrical change orders and scope changes.
• Assist with coordination of equipment deliveries and installation readiness for major electrical components.
• Identify opportunities to reduce delays and avoid rework through early issue identification.

8. Cross Functional Coordination:

• Coordinate daily with construction management, inspectors, and discipline leads.
• Interface with engineering, vendors, and third?party contractors to resolve electrical field issues.
• Support alignment between base station electrical scope and power bridge scope to ensure seamless integration.
