• Maintain thorough documentation of onsite activities, decisions, and site conditions.

Leadership and Problem Solving

• Identify risks related to electrical scopes, technical specifications, and field operations.
• Participate in root cause analysis and help implement corrective and preventative actions.
• Serve as EPS’s onsite representative and foster strong relationships with clients, utilities, AHJs, EPCs, and community stakeholders.
• Model EPS values through professionalism, integrity, and a solutions‑oriented mindset.

Training and Development

• Strengthen your knowledge of electrical systems in utility‑scale renewable projects.
• Share expertise across teams and support the development of junior field personnel.
• Contribute to operational reviews, shutdown planning, and time analysis activities.

Who You Are

• Experienced construction professional with electrical background and familiarity with solar, BESS, or wind projects.
