- Represent CFG with professionalism, sound judgment, and a strong commitment to project outcomes
- Review electrical submittals, RFIs, contractor questions, substitution requests, and proposed change orders
- Provide timely technical direction during construction
- Conduct construction site observations and evaluate installations for general conformance with design documents
- Participate in field investigations, equipment inspections, commissioning activities, punch-list development, and project turnover
- Evaluate unforeseen field conditions and develop practical engineering solutions
- Support successful project delivery by staying engaged from design through installation and operation
- Represent CFG and, where required, the Owner in technical discussions with contractors and project stakeholders
- Lead increasingly complex and high-impact mission-critical projects
- Mentor and develop the next generation of electrical engineers
- Shape CFG’s electrical engineering standards, tools, and delivery practices
- Work directly with clients and senior project stakeholders
- Expand your expertise across design, construction, commissioning, and operations
