Required Knowledge and Skills:

• Advanced knowledge of Electrical, Instrumentation & Controls (E&I/C) field engineering and construction practices, including installation, inspection, testing, system interfaces, and resolution of technical field issues.
• Strong knowledge of construction work planning and work packaging, including preparation and review of construction drawings, sketches, field changes, RFIs, installation work packages, as-built documentation, quantity tracking, and material requirements.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, vendor documentation, inspection and test plans (ITPs), and applicable project requirements, and translate them into practical construction execution requirements.
• Demonstrated knowledge of quality and safety requirements applicable to field construction, including technical inspections, testing, verification of installed work, identification and resolution of non-conformances, and safe execution of field activities.
• Strong multidisciplinary coordination and technical problem-solving skills, with the ability to interface effectively with Construction, Engineering, Procurement, Quality, Project Controls, Startup/Commissioning, contractors, and subcontractors.
• Ability to exercise independent technical judgment, identify field constraints and installation risks, establish priorities, and develop practical solutions consistent with engineering, quality, safety, schedule, and project requirements.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills, including preparation of technical documentation and coordination with project stakeholders.
• E&I/C Construction Experience: Demonstrated field engineering experience in Electrical and Instrumentation & Controls construction, installation, inspection, testing, and technical field support, preferably on large, complex industrial, mining, or infrastructure projects.
• Field Engineering & Construction Execution: Proven experience supporting construction through work planning/packaging, technical queries and RFIs, field changes, construction drawings/sketches, material requirements, quantity verification, inspection and test plans, and as-built documentation.
• Technical Leadership & Problem Solving: Demonstrated ability to independently evaluate and resolve complex field engineering issues, coordinate multidisciplinary interfaces, and provide technically sound recommendations to support safe, quality-compliant construction execution.
• Multidisciplinary / Contractor Coordination: Proven ability to work effectively with Construction, Engineering, Procurement, Quality, Project Controls, Startup/Commissioning, contractors, and subcontractors, maintaining alignment among engineering requirements and field execution.
