Description
Electrical Field Engineer / QA-QC – Medium Voltage
Location: Clarksville AR – 100% Onsite
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 construction position rather than a traditional office-based design engineering role. Medium-voltage electrical experience is required. Candidates whose experience is limited primarily to standard commercial building electrical systems will not meet the technical requirements of this assignment.
Qualified candidates may come from electrical engineering, construction management, electrical contracting, commissioning, superintendent, QA/QC, or owner's representative backgrounds.
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.
• 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.
