Field Engineering Technologist; REMOTE

Field Engineering Technologist (REMOTE)

WSP is seeking a Field Engineering Technologist for the PCI Project Construction Management Department. The selected candidate may work full‑time remotely from a location other than a WSP‑designated office or job site. This is a field position and travel will be required.

• Act as an Engineering Technician in support of the Senior Project Engineer in planning, designing, and building the Project Quality Assurance Plan, processes, procedures, and work instructions for the field project.
• Provide engineering support of construction to the Senior Project Engineer by performing field reviews of the work performed by the construction contractor to verify it meets the technical specifications established in the IFC engineering packages and that any changes or deviations have been identified, reviewed, and accepted by the Senior Project Engineer, the Engineer of Record, and members of the engineering team.
• Assist the Senior Project Engineer in coordinating Quality Assurance Inspection teams to report on any non‑conformities to the engineering requirements and to recommend corrective action and remediation or mitigation to minimize schedule, cost, and quality impacts to the project.
• Perform and provide to the Senior Project Engineer non‑conformance reporting (NCR), punch list and coordinate inspections to ensure final construction build meets engineering specifications and is managed in real‑time throughout the project.
• Verify the construction contractor has adhered to and ECN or RFI responses in respect to revisions to the engineering specifications and report finding to the Senior Project Engineer.
• Support Senior Project Engineer in liaising with internal engineering teams to interpret, communicate, and suggest alternatives to engineered technical construction specifications.
• Support the Senior Project Engineer in documenting project activities, creating and maintaining a reporting structure to make all stakeholders aware of daily, weekly, and monthly technical reports from the field, including daily inspections and non‑conformance reporting.
• Conduct field visits with the Senior Project Engineer to provide technical guidance and implement a Project Quality Plan audit in accordance with POWER’s Quality Management System.
• Confer with the Senior Project Engineer about reviewing Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) and leading or being part of constructability reviews.
• Use computer‑aided design software under the charge and guidance of the Senior Project Engineer.
• Evaluate pre‑construction field conditions, suggesting any needed engineering changes based on the existing conditions.
• Monitor field tests of construction materials, welding, bolting, concrete placement and obtaining of samples by 3rd party testing laboratories.
• Complete walk‑downs with Senior Project Engineer to assess final completion and project close‑out status.

• At minimum 8 years in a utility and/or heavy construction environments with at least 5 years in EHV transmission lines, HVDC, power generation or sub‑stations.
• Working knowledge of solar PV, battery energy storage systems, wind turbine generators, HVDC converter stations, and gas turbines.
• Experience interpreting IFC engineering packages and technical drawings.
• Experience with Quality Management Systems (e.g., ISO 9001, Six Sigma) and the development of quality processes, procedures, and work instructions.
• Ability to read and understand engineering specifications and drawings and assess constructability and make necessary recommendations to engineering teams.
• Must be able to spend a significant amount of time in the field evaluating construction and assuring technical specifications are met.
• Subject matter expertise in the construction, quality, safety, environmental, and permitting requirements of the work with all necessary steps and accompanying technical requirements.
• Ability to audit and spot check reports against actual field conditions.
• Significant experience with geo‑spatial reporting software, including ability to contrast field realities against established schedules.
• Knowledge of the use and evaluation of ITPs and ITRs.
• Clear…
