Responsibilities
• Evaluate field conditions against approved single-line diagrams, panel schedules, three-line diagrams, and site design, exercising engineering judgment to determine whether deviations are acceptable, require rework, or require a design change, with review from senior engineering at key milestones • Serve as the owners field representative during: Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and functional testing of Owner Furnished Equipment (OFE) consisting of: switchgear, distribution transformers, metal clad gear, and EVSE, independently assessing test results against acceptance criteria and determining pass/fail/conditional disposition • Evaluate site energization readiness, weighing incomplete or conflicting information from utilities, contractors, internal teams, and make the final go/no-go engineering call, escalating ambiguous or high-risk cases to senior engineering leadership • Troubleshoot complex, non-routine electrical and hardware issues on active sites, partnering with Field Service to diagnose and resolve electrical power system problems • Analyze field-discovered deviations and as-built changes for engineering significance, and determine which require formal design revision versus documentation only • Ensure the commissioning-to-operations handoff, including equipment turnover packages, maintenance schedules, and warranty terms, are sufficient for safe, reliable operation, exercising judgment on what site documentation and guidance the receiving team needs • Interpret and apply NEC, UL, IEEE, and local code requirements during field reviews • Manage field engineering activity across multiple concurrent sites with competing schedules • Report regularly to management on progress, issues, and risks
