About the Role

Do you enjoy bridging the gap between design and field execution in complex electrical infrastructure environments? We’re looking for a technically driven and highly collaborative Engineer – Division 26E to support the planning, coordination, and execution of critical electrical infrastructure systems across large-scale and mission-critical construction projects.

In this role, you’ll work closely with subcontractors, BIM/VDC teams, design partners, and field leadership to ensure Division 26E infrastructure scope is coordinated, constructable, and ready for execution before work reaches the field. You’ll play a key role in translating design intent into field-ready work packages that support installation sequencing, workfront readiness, and efficient project delivery.

From supports and conveyance systems to grounding, bonding, and rough-in infrastructure, you’ll help drive technical coordination and execution continuity from design development through turnover.

What You’ll Do – Coordinate Infrastructure. Enable Execution.

• Review infrastructure scope with subcontractors and trade partners to validate layouts, constructability, installation assumptions, and field access requirements.
• Support coordinated work package development for supports, conveyance systems, grounding and bonding, rough-in infrastructure, and prerequisite releases.
• Assist in converting design intent into practical, field-executable installation plans aligned with construction sequencing and workfront readiness.
• Coordinate closely with BIM/VDC, technical leadership, field operations, and design teams to identify and close scope gaps prior to field release.
• Participate in design-assist and design-build coordination efforts focused on constructability, installation feasibility, and execution readiness.
• Assist with submittals, RFIs, revisions, and technical documentation to maintain alignment with project requirements and evolving field conditions.
• Remain engaged during active construction to support installation clarifications, answer technical questions, and resolve coordination issues.
• Support updates to drawings and documentation based on field conditions, revisions, and as-built requirements.
• Assist with coordination between Division 26E and adjacent trades to ensure alignment across shared systems and infrastructure interfaces.
• Help ensure technical completeness and readiness for commissioning, testing, and turnover activities.

Systems & Infrastructure You’ll Support

• Supports, conduit systems, cable pathways, grounding and bonding systems, rough-in infrastructure, and enabling electrical systems
• Data centers, high-availability environments, and technically complex infrastructure projects
• Coordination across electrical systems, low-voltage infrastructure, structural systems, and adjacent construction trades
• BIM/VDC coordination, field layout integration, and constructability-driven planning processes

What You Bring

• 3–6+ years of experience supporting electrical construction, infrastructure coordination, or engineering-related project environments
• Working knowledge of Division 26E systems including supports, conveyance, grounding and bonding, and rough-in infrastructure
• Understanding of construction sequencing, installation methods, and constructability principles
• Ability to interpret design drawings and translate technical intent into coordinated, field-ready work packages
• Familiarity with design-assist and design-build project delivery models
• Exposure to BIM/VDC coordination tools and model-based construction workflows preferred
• Knowledge of RFIs, submittals, revisions, and field change management processes
• Strong coordination and communication skills across subcontractors, field teams, and design partners
• Strong problem-solving mindset with focus on constructability and execution outcomes
• Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, schedule-driven construction environments
• Exposure to data center or mission-critical infrastructure projects is a plus
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred, or equivalent industry experience
• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification preferred
• EIT or related technical certification is a plus

What’s in It for You?

• Support complex infrastructure systems that serve as the backbone of mission-critical environments.
• Work alongside experienced engineers, BIM/VDC professionals, project leaders, and field teams to solve real-world execution challenges.
• Build technical coordination and construction execution expertise within a growing, high-performance environment.
• Every project presents new opportunities to solve technical challenges and improve execution outcomes.
• Comprehensive compensation package including benefits, professional development opportunities, and long-term career growth.

Compensation & Benefits

Expected Compensation: $100,000 - $155,000 annually, depending on experience, qualifications, certifications, and overall fit.

In addition to base compensation, our client offers a comprehensive benefits package that may include:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement savings plan
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Professional development and training opportunities
• Travel expense reimbursement in accordance with company policy
• Opportunities for career growth and advancement

Work Environment

This role operates within both office and active construction site environments. Responsibilities may include standing, walking, climbing, bending, kneeling, and lifting up to 50 pounds while supporting field coordination and installation activities. Close visual attention is required for reviewing plans, technical documentation, and field conditions.

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the role.
