Represent the Owner on Critical Infrastructure Projects

This isn't commercial construction.

As the Owner's Representative, you'll oversee electrical construction activities on one of the region's most significant water/wastewater infrastructure programs. You'll help ensure contractors deliver quality work while supporting infrastructure that serves millions of people every day.

If you enjoy solving field challenges, maintaining high construction standards, and working on technically complex projects within active operating facilities, this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact while enjoying years of project stability.

Job DetailsResponsibilities

Represent the Owner during electrical construction activities on major water/wastewater capital projects.

Perform field inspections to verify construction complies with project drawings, specifications, contract documents, applicable codes, and quality standards.

Coordinate daily with contractors, engineers, project managers, and client representatives.

Document field observations, inspection reports, deficiencies, and corrective actions.

Monitor construction progress and verify quality throughout all phases of the project.

Assist in resolving field issues while minimizing impacts to ongoing plant operations.

Participate in project meetings and provide technical input regarding construction quality and field conditions.

Experience supporting water/wastewater capital projects, municipal infrastructure, industrial process facilities, power generation, manufacturing plants, or other complex operating facilities.

Strong knowledge of electrical systems, construction sequencing, installation practices, and applicable electrical codes.

Experience working within active operating treatment facilities or other mission-critical industrial environments is highly preferred.

Excellent communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills.

No specific engineering degree or certification is required. Relevant field experience is valued more than formal credentials, although construction inspection or QA/QC certifications are considered a plus.

If you're looking for the opportunity to represent the owner on a landmark municipal infrastructure program while enjoying exceptional benefits, long-term project stability, and meaningful work, we'd love to hear from you.
