We're seeking an experienced Field Project Engineer to support power generation projects (natural gas, combined-cycle, peaker plants, renewables, or grid infrastructure) on an onsite basis. This role is the technical and administrative bridge between engineering, construction, and project management in the field — ensuring the work being built matches the design, stays on schedule, and meets quality and safety standards.
This is a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground position for someone who wants to be where the work is happening, not behind a desk.
Key Responsibilities
Serve as the onsite point of contact for engineering questions, drawing interpretation, and design clarifications during construction
Review and manage RFIs (Requests for Information), submittals, and design change documentation
Track construction progress against project schedule and flag deviations early
Coordinate with subcontractors, craft supervisors, and QA/QC inspectors to resolve field issues
Support punch list development and closeout documentation as systems near completion
Review and redline as-built drawings; maintain document control for field revisions
Participate in daily/weekly progress meetings and provide engineering status updates
Support commissioning and startup activities as the project moves toward completion
Ensure work complies with applicable codes, client specifications, and safety requirements
Document field conditions, non-conformances, and corrective actions
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent field experience)
8+ years of field engineering experience on industrial or power generation construction projects
Working knowledge of power plant systems (mechanical, electrical, or civil scope depending on assignment)
Experience reading and marking up P&IDs, one-lines, civil/structural drawings
Familiarity with RFI/submittal workflows and construction management software (Procore, PlanGrid, Primavera, or similar)
Strong communication skills — comfortable working directly with craft labor, superintendents, and client representatives
Willingness to work onsite full-time for the duration of the assignment, including extended hours as project schedule requires
OSHA 10/30 certification preferred; ability to pass site-specific safety training
Preferred
Prior experience with EPC contractors or utility-scale power projects
