Key Responsibilities

• Review engineering drawings, construction plans, project specifications, and technical documentation to understand project requirements and identify potential constructability or design issues before and during construction.
• Perform field/site surveys and assessments to document existing conditions, identify potential hazards or conflicts, and confirm site readiness for construction.
• Support overhead and underground electric distribution projects, providing technical expertise throughout construction and project closeout.
• Oversee and monitor field construction activities to ensure crews and subcontractors are working in accordance with approved plans, specifications, utility standards, and safety requirements.
• Serve as a technical resource in the field, assisting with engineering questions, constructability concerns, design changes, and unforeseen site conditions.
• Coordinate with engineering resources when field conditions require design clarification, modification, or escalation.
• Prepare and maintain accurate field documentation, including daily site reports, construction progress updates, issue tracking, field notes, and supporting project documentation.
• Monitor construction progress against project schedules and communicate potential delays, risks, or resource constraints to project leadership.
• Assist with the tracking and coordination of materials, equipment, and other field resources, including working with materials management to organize and account for received materials.
• Perform field inspections and support QA/QC activities to ensure completed work meets engineering requirements and project specifications.
• Verify completion of required QA/QC checklists, inspection reports, and supporting construction documentation.
• Collect and maintain as-built redlines, construction progress photos, and field records to support accurate project closeout documentation.
• Troubleshoot technical and construction-related challenges in the field and help develop practical engineering solutions that keep projects moving forward.
• Communicate regularly with project managers, engineers, construction teams, subcontractors, and other stakeholders regarding project status, field conditions, and technical issues.
• Maintain a strong focus on safety, quality, schedule, and successful project delivery throughout all phases of construction.
