Temporary Shadowing Electrical Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

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

Primary responsibilities will include but not be limited to:

1. Electrical Construction Support (Primary Function)

• Act as the owner's onsite electrical representative supporting the Construction Manager, inspectors, and project team.

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

  • IFC drawings

  • Approved onelines 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, Ehouses, switchgear, MCCs, grounding systems, lighting, and auxiliary systems.

2.RFI and Field Issue Management:

• Serve as the primary onsite 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 EMDrelated 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, tiein, grounding, and integration of onsite generators and associated electrical infrastructure.

5.NEC Compliance and Electrical Safety:

• Maintain a working, fieldapplicable 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 noncompliant installations before energization.

• Support a strong electrical safety culture on site.

6.Documentation, Redlines, and Turnover Support:

• Maintain accurate electrical redlines/asbuilts 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

  • Asbuilt 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.CrossFunctional Coordination:

• Coordinate daily with construction management, inspectors, and discipline leads.

• Interface with engineering, vendors, and thirdparty contractors to resolve electrical field issues.

• Support alignment between base station electrical scope and power bridge scope to ensure seamless integration.

• 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.

This position offers a highly competitive compensation package, including paid time off, health insurance benefits, and matching retirement contributions.

Education: Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university is required.

Registration: Professional Engineering registration is highly preferred.

Experience: This position requires 8+ years of relevant industrial experience in electrical and instrumentation engineering.

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• 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.

• 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 latestage design changes and accelerated construction schedules.

• Prior experience acting as an owner's field representative.

• 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 fulltime on a construction site and communicate effectively with contractors and project leadership.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to sit, stand, or walk for long periods of time.
