We are seeking an experienced and field-proven Project Field Engineer to support and lead engineering activities on high-voltage substation construction projects. The ideal candidate will have 5-7 years of relevant field experience and the demonstrated ability to independently manage technical field issues, direct junior engineers, and interface with project management and home office engineering teams. This is a full-time, site-based role performed in rotational shifts. The Project Field Engineer builds upon foundational field engineering skills to serve in a technical leadership capacity, with a strong emphasis on safety culture, commissioning oversight, and project controls engagement.
What You'll Do
The Project Field Engineer will:
  • Model and enforce a safety-first culture on site; lead pre-task planning sessions, conduct field safety observations, and mentor junior Field Engineers in EEWP procedures and OSHA compliance.
  • Serve as Lead Field Engineer on assigned projects, directing field engineering activities and coordinating workflow among junior Field Engineers and technicians.
  • Work on site full time in rotational shifts, maintaining engineering coverage across all active construction phases.
  • Act as primary technical liaison on site, providing guidance to project leadership, construction crews, and subcontractors.
  • Ensure project adherence to engineering and design specifications, industry standards, and construction regulations.
  • Lead resolution of construction issues, deviations from plans, and unforeseen field challenges; coordinate with home office engineering teams when required.
  • Lead pre-energization testing walkthroughs, oversee commissioning punch-list resolution, and review and approve commissioning test documentation before milestone sign-off.
  • Participate in constructability reviews during design phases, providing field perspective on installation sequencing, equipment access, and execution risk.
  • Manage field submittals, RFIs, and documentation using Procore or equivalent project management software; generate field reports and support project controls with accurate field data.
  • Identify and communicate field-driven cost and schedule impacts to Project Manager; support as-built quantity tracking and change documentation.
  • Maintain accurate field markups and project documentation.
  • Support plan review and approvals with applicable authorities having jurisdiction.
  • Adhere to internal standards, policies, and procedures.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

What You'll Bring
  • 5-7 years of relevant field experience in the construction of large high-voltage electrical infrastructure.
  • Strong technical background in the installation of electrical equipment and associated systems, with in-depth working knowledge of either substation or transmission construction drawings and specifications - including physical layout drawings, grounding plans, equipment arrangement drawings, one-line and three-line diagrams, civil/structural details, and QC documentation.
  • Experience with high, medium, and low voltage installations, grounding, and substation or transmission design.
  • Familiarity with protection and control schematics, relay panel arrangements, and SCADA/RTU integration sufficient to validate field installations.
  • Working knowledge of NESC, IEEE substation standards (C2, 80, 693), OSHA 1910.269, and customer-specific construction specifications.
  • Demonstrated ability to direct field engineering activities and mentor entry-level Field Engineers.
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate with project teams, clients, and regulatory entities.
  • OSHA 30 required; OSHA 10 minimum.
  • Valid driver's license required.
  • Willingness to work rotational shifts and extended schedules in a field environment.
  • Proficiency in Procore or equivalent project management software; ability to generate field reports, manage RFI and submittal logs, and support project controls.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Professional Engineer (P.E.) license not required.

What You'll Get
  • Competitive salary and bonus structure.
  • Comprehensive health and retirement benefits.
  • Per diem and travel support for site-based assignments.
  • Professional development opportunities and pathways toward senior leadership roles.
