Duration: 12 month contract to start
Onsite: 3 days per week during construction
Scope: This scope of work for this electrical engineering position in
Colorado includes overseeing and contributing to large-scale wind projects. As
a project engineer, this person will be responsible for providing electrical
expertise, with a focus on evaluating project drawings and handling requests
for information (RFIs) across multiple projects. Project Overview includes
Large Projects near Siebert, CO; Two large wind facilities, which is
starting construction soon, followed by a third wind facility that will
begin construction shortly after these first two. Lastly, there are smaller
capital Projects within the CO region that the engineer will also have
opportunities to work on. This resource should have renewable generation
project experience and should be willing/able to travel to the site. Should
have 2-3 years/equivalent experience with other renewables as well.
Day to Day: A typical day for this electrical engineering position will vary
based on the project phase: Early Project Phase: The day will focus on
defining the scope of work and developing technical specifications for the
project. This may involve collaborating with other engineers and project
stakeholders to ensure all requirements are clearly outlined.
Engineering/Procurement Phase: Once agreements are made for engineering
and equipment, the focus will shift to evaluating drawings, studies, and
analyses. This will involve reviewing the technical documentation to confirm
that everything aligns with the project specifications and requirements.
Construction Phase: During construction, the day will be more hands-on,
assisting contractors by addressing any questions they may have about the
project. This could include clarifying details about the design or
construction process and troubleshooting any issues that arise on-site. The
overall responsibilities will shift from planning and reviewing to providing
direct support during the construction phase. This resource should have
knowledge of how to resolve a RFI and NCR noncompliance requests. This
resource will work with our lead electrical engineer on the project to be able
to understand/interpret design drawings and managing the compliance of the
construction to the design drawings and managing RFI requests.
