Job Description

The Field Electrical Engineer will provide dedicated on-site 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. On-Site Power Generation and Power Bridge Support:

• Provide field support for temporary or interim power bridge / on-site 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.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and hands-on 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 on-site 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.
