This is achieved through strong communication, collaboration, and responsible, creative problem-solving, ensuring projects are constructed on time and in compliance with design, laws, codes, and requirements.
What You Will Do
  • Support on-site construction activities with a focus on electrical and high-voltage systems, including collection systems, substations, and interconnection-related infrastructure
  • Coordinate inspections and facilitate discussions with local, county, and state Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), particularly for electrical and HV components
  • Create and conduct First Article Inspections (FAIs) to verify electrical installations are constructed to design specifications and standards
  • Document and maintain construction and engineering drawings, including red-line sets for electrical and HV scopes
  • Compose and manage Requests for Information (RFIs) between construction teams, engineers, vendors, and long-term project owners
  • Review electrical construction material submittals and verify compliance with project specifications
  • Hold subcontractors and self-perform teams accountable to their scopes of work, with emphasis on electrical quality and safety
  • Assist in preparation of electrical specifications, data sheets, and other pre-construction planning deliverables
  • Proactively manage project constraints through collaboration with project management, engineering, and construction personnel
  • Maintain stormwater documentation logs and coordinate remediation as needed
  • Operate drones to capture construction progress, quality issues, and field conditions

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)
  • Professional electrical experience in an industrial, utility-scale, or power generation environment
  • Experience supporting field construction activities under schedule-driven deadlines
  • Experience creating reports, tracking issues, and compiling field data
  • Experience working effectively in a collaborative, team-based environment

What Will Put You Ahead
  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering
  • Experience with high-voltage (HV) electrical systems, including substations, collection systems, and grid interconnection infrastructure
  • Experience supporting electrical scopes on utility-scale solar projects
  • Previous experience in a Field Engineering, Project Engineering, or Construction Management role within Renewables or Oil & Energy
  • Familiarity with electrical codes, standards, and inspection requirements applicable to large-scale power projects
  • Experience operating drones or possession of an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) license
  • Experience in a leadership role or acting as an on-site electrical point of contact
  • Experience communicating in multi-lingual environments
