The ideal candidate will have experience supporting both overhead and underground electric distribution systems and a strong understanding of distribution construction practices, utility design standards, field operations, and project execution. This role will work primarily at active project sites and serve as an important liaison between construction crews, subcontractors, project management, and engineering teams.

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.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Professional experience as a Field Engineer, Distribution Engineer, Construction Engineer, or similar engineering role supporting electric utility projects.
• Experience with both overhead and underground electric distribution engineering and/or construction.
• Strong understanding of electric distribution systems, construction practices, engineering drawings, and utility design standards.
• Experience working directly in the field and supporting active construction projects.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, construction plans, specifications, and technical documentation.
• Experience identifying and troubleshooting field conditions, constructability issues, and design conflicts.
• Familiarity with QA/QC inspections, as-built redlines, field reporting, and construction documentation.
• Strong communication and organizational skills with the ability to coordinate across engineering, construction, project management, and subcontractor teams.
• Ability and willingness to work primarily at project sites throughout Miami-Dade County and Broward County.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience supporting a major electric utility, EPC contractor, or utility construction organization.
• Experience supporting distribution projects from initial field assessment through construction and project closeout.
• Understanding of underground facilities, overhead distribution infrastructure, material requirements, and utility construction sequencing.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, field-driven environment where engineering and construction teams must work closely together to resolve issues quickly.
