Electrical Field Engineer
What you’ll do
As the Electrical Field Engineer, you will be the person who keeps electrical construction moving when the field runs into a question the drawings can't answer. You'll write and resolve RFIs, chasing down design intent, code requirements, and existing conditions so the field never sits idle waiting on an answer. You'll own change orders end-to-end — spotting scope changes before they become disputes, documenting them, pricing them out with the team, and running them through to resolution and approval. You'll work daily with the Electrical Superintendent, the design team, and subcontractors to make sure the paper trail matches what's actually getting built.
Where you’ll work
This is a site-based role. You'll be on-site full-time at an active Giga data center construction site, with the specific location depending on current project needs, with potential relocation or extended assignment to other active sites as the portfolio grows.
Responsibilities
Identify, write, and track RFIs for electrical scope, ensuring clear documentation of the issue, impact, and requested resolution
Follow up with design teams and engineers of record to drive RFIs to timely closure, escalating stalled items
Review electrical drawings, specifications, and single-line diagrams to spot discrepancies, conflicts, or missing information before they become field problems
Identify potential change order conditions in the field and document them accurately and promptly
Prepare change order requests, including scope description, backup documentation, and cost/schedule impact
Coordinate with project controls, PMs, and subcontractors to price, negotiate, and resolve change orders
Maintain a change order and RFI log, and report status regularly to the Electrical Superintendent and Project Director
Support field layout and installation checks to verify work matches approved drawings and RFI/change order resolutions
Coordinate with commissioning and controls teams to ensure resolved RFIs and change orders are reflected in as-built documentation
Assist with material takeoffs and procurement follow-up tied to approved change orders
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field
3+ years of experience as a field engineer, project engineer, or similar role on electrical construction projects
Working knowledge of electrical systems, including MV/HV, switchgear, and UPS
Ability to read and interpret single-line diagrams, P&IDs, and electrical specifications
Experience writing and managing RFIs and change orders on a construction project
Strong organizational skills, with the ability to track multiple open items across a fast-moving job site
Strong written communication skills, with the ability to document technical issues clearly for design teams and ownership
Bonus points
Experience on data center or other mission-critical facility construction projects
Familiarity with commissioning (Cx) processes and how RFIs/change orders affect FPTs and IST
Experience with project management software (e.g., Procore, PlanGrid, Bluebeam)
OSHA 30 certification
