Description
Electrical Field Engineer / QA-QC – Medium Voltage
Locations:
- Clarksville, Tennessee – 100% Onsite
- Clarksville, Arkansas – 100% Onsite
Project Start Date: February 1, 2027 Assignment: Expected to last 12-18 months Start: ASAP – candidates must be able to mobilize to the site quickly
Position Overview We are seeking an experienced Electrical Field Engineer / QA-QC professional to provide onsite construction support for a large, complex mission-critical facility and substation. This position will work directly with electrical contractors and the engineering/design team to verify construction quality, interpret design requirements, resolve field issues, and support timely project execution.
This is a field-focused electrical engineering role supporting medium- to high-voltage utility-scale construction projects, rather than a traditional office-based design engineering or building systems engineering position. Hands-on medium-voltage electrical construction experience is required, with high-voltage substation experience strongly preferred.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide onsite electrical construction and QA/QC support.
- Review electrical installations against drawings, specifications, one-lines, and design intent.
- Inspect and evaluate medium-voltage distribution systems and associated equipment.
- Support installation, testing, energization, startup, and turnover activities.
- Identify installation deficiencies, field conflicts, and construction issues requiring corrective action.
- Work directly with electrical contractors to investigate and resolve field conditions.
- Review electrical construction drawings, one-line diagrams, equipment documentation, and specifications.
- Support field activities involving switchgear, transformers, distribution equipment, and related systems.
- Document field observations, quality concerns, deficiencies, and corrective actions.
- Resolve appropriate field issues independently while quickly escalating design-related questions to the Engineer of Record/design team.
- Coordinate electrical work with mechanical, controls, and other project disciplines.
Requirements
Qualifications
- 5+ years of relevant electrical construction, engineering, commissioning, or QA/QC experience.
- Hands-on medium-voltage electrical experience required.
- High-voltage substations projects preferred
- Strong knowledge of medium-voltage distribution, transformers, switchgear, and associated electrical equipment.
- Experience with electrical installation, testing, energization, startup, and/or commissioning.
- Ability to interpret electrical one-lines, construction drawings, specifications, and equipment documentation.
- Significant onsite construction and contractor coordination experience.
- Strong QA/QC mindset and ability to recognize installation or construction deficiencies.
- Ability to work independently and make sound field decisions within assigned authority.
- Strong communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills.
- Data center or power-generation experience strongly preferred; comparable large-infrastructure experience will be considered.
- Engineering degree preferred but not required with significant relevant field experience.
