***This posting is for a potential future opening(s) with Entergy. This posting is to build a candidate pool for all Louisiana transmission field coordinator roles, inclusive of Grid Ops Support, should the opening becomes available.***
PURPOSE
The Transmission Field Coordinator leads planning and readiness activities for high‑voltage transmission line and substation work, ensuring safe, compliant, and first‑time‑right execution. The role proactively identifies hazards, evaluates structure and ROW conditions, and determines when EWP or BMAD analysis is required. Work plans incorporate Life Critical Rules, MAD/BMAD requirements, grounding schemes, fall‑protection needs, LOTO/clearance steps, and all relevant transmission safe‑work practices. The Field Coordinator ensures that all transmission jobs are designed and prepared in alignment with engineering standards, conductor installation methods, hardware assemblies, and substation equipment specifications. Pre‑construction reviews—such as structure assessments, access verification, and material checks—are essential to eliminating field delays and constructability issues.
The role prepares switching steps, isolation points, breaker lineups, tagging requirements, and outage sequencing in collaboration with Transmission Control Center, ensuring system protection, accuracy, and operational feasibility. Execution readiness includes verifying structure access, crane/tensioning locations, conductor paths, environmental/ROW requirements, permits, logistics, and specialized equipment. The coordinator partners with Construction, System Operations, ROW, Environmental, Dispatch, Warehousing, and contractors to remove barriers and support seamless field execution. Additionally, the Field Coordinator provides technical coaching, anticipates challenges in rigging, tensions, and equipment limitations, and contributes to post‑job reviews to strengthen future planning and work quality.
