Electrical Inspector

$110k - $160k

INNOVATION CONSULTING INC

Electrical Inspector

Type: W2 Staffing | Full-Time


Location: Santa Clarita, CA (On-site)


Salary: $110K-$160K DOE


Duration: 12+ months, with extension likely through 2027


About the Role


Innovation Consulting is partnered with a leading infrastructure and engineering firm to recruit an Electrical Inspector for a utility capital improvement program in the Santa Clarita area. This engagement supports active construction and commissioning work at an operating natural gas utility storage facility, where new medium-voltage electrical infrastructure is being installed and energized in connection with a large-scale compressor modernization program.


The Inspector will be embedded with the construction management team on-site, providing day-to-day field inspection and quality oversight across the full electrical scope: incoming medium-voltage switchgear, step-down transformer installation, power distribution centers, load migration, and programmable logic controller installations. The role requires direct coordination with the construction contractor and utility representatives, and candidates must be comfortable working in a live utility environment with the associated hazards and sequencing demands.


Construction is underway and engineering is still in progress. The initial term is estimated at 12+ months, with extensions through 2027 and beyond expected as construction scope advances. As a W2 employee of Innovation Consulting, you will be placed on assignment with our client for this engagement.


Key Responsibilities

Field Inspection and Quality Control

  • Inspect installation of medium-voltage electrical equipment, including incoming switchgear, step-down power transformers, power distribution centers (PDCs), motor control centers (MCCs), and associated conductors, conduit systems, and terminations
  • Verify work conforms to project drawings, one-line diagrams, specifications, applicable codes (NEC, NFPA 70E), and utility owner standards at each phase of construction
  • Document inspection activities, deficiencies, and corrective actions; maintain accurate daily field logs and inspection records throughout the program
  • Issue non-conformance reports (NCRs) for deficient work; track and verify resolution through closeout
Commissioning and Energization Support
  • Witness and document pre-energization checks, protective relay testing, and energization sequences for MV switchgear and power transformers
  • Support load migration activities, verifying that circuit transfers are performed per approved procedures and that new distribution infrastructure is inspected and accepted prior to load transfer
  • Inspect PLC panel installations, including control wiring, conduit, terminations, and power supply circuits, in coordination with controls and commissioning personnel
  • Support PDC commissioning as downstream distribution equipment is energized through the program's construction sequence
Coordination and Communication
  • Serve as the on-site quality interface between the electrical construction contractor and the engineering and construction management team
  • Communicate inspection status, open items, and field conditions to the project team clearly and in a timely manner
  • Participate in construction meetings, pre-activity planning sessions, hazard analyses, and safety briefings as required by the site safety plan
Qualifications

Required
  • Minimum 5 years of field experience inspecting electrical systems on industrial, utility, or heavy infrastructure construction projects
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with medium-voltage/high-voltage systems (typically 5kV-115kV), including switchgear, power transformers, and distribution equipment
  • Working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, and applicable California electrical codes and standards
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, one-line diagrams, equipment submittals, and project specifications
  • OSHA 10 certification (construction industry)
  • Strong written communication skills; ability to produce clear, accurate field inspection records and non-conformance reports
Preferred
  • Prior inspection or QC experience on utility capital improvement programs, compressor station construction, or substation work
  • Experience witnessing or supporting commissioning and energization of MV switchgear and power transformers, including pre-energization testing and protective relay verification
  • Familiarity with power distribution center construction, including PDC, transformer, switchgear, MCC, and control panel installations
  • Experience with PLC installation inspections, including control wiring, terminations, and power circuit verification
  • OSHA 30 certification (construction industry)
  • NETA certification or equivalent third-party electrical testing background
  • California State Electrical Inspector certification
