Electrical Engineer Project Manager

Build Byte Construction Services, LLC · Lincoln, Nebraska

FULL TIME

Job Description

We are hiring an

Electrical Engineer Owner’s Rep

to support a high-capacity data center project onsite in Lincoln, Nebraska.

This is a construction-facing role for someone with strong electrical experience who can support owner-side electrical scope coordination, field issue resolution, and cross-functional project execution. The individual will work across engineering, construction, quality, commissioning, contractor, vendor, and owner-side teams.

This is

not a purely design-engineering position

. The person will not replace the Engineer of Record and will not be responsible for stamped or sealed documents. The right candidate will understand electrical distribution systems, large-scale construction environments, and how to represent electrical scope effectively throughout project execution.

Must Have

5+ years of construction-facing electrical experience

Strong electrical project experience

Industrial construction experience, ideally involving large-scale electrical infrastructure

Experience supporting electrical scope from design coordination through construction, installation, commissioning, or closeout

Working knowledge of medium-voltage and low-voltage electrical systems

Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, one-lines, schematics, controls diagrams, specifications, and construction documents

Experience identifying, escalating, and helping resolve electrical construction or commissioning issues in the field

Experience coordinating with stakeholders such as the EOR, GC, electrical contractors, commissioning/quality teams, project management, vendors, manufacturers, and owner-side teams

Experience reviewing or supporting electrical scopes of work, contractor deliverables, design updates, RFIs, submittals, schedules, budgets, or change-related documentation

Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly represent electrical scope in a construction-facing environment

Preferred

Electrical Engineering degree

10+ years of relevant electrical experience

Professional Engineer background, although no stamped or sealed work is required

Industrial and commercial project experience

Data center, mission-critical, or other large-scale facility experience

Hyperscale or high-capacity facility experience

HV/MV/LV electrical distribution experience

Medium-voltage power distribution experience, including AIS/GIS switchgear, controls schematics, MV cable installation, relays, terminations, and transformers

Experience with HV substations, MV equipment, and LV branch circuits

Experience reviewing pull calculations, overseeing medium-voltage cable pulls, and inspecting MV terminations

Commissioning, testing, or electrical field-service experience

Experience with NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA requirements, electrical testing standards, commissioning, and power systems

Experience with short-circuit coordination and arc-flash reports, including arc-flash labeling and protective-device coordination

Former Field Service Representative or NETA testing-agent experience

Experience supporting design from basis of design through IFC, procurement, bidding, manufacturing, delivery, installation, commissioning, and issue resolution

Experience supporting project budgets, schedules, contractor resources, proposals, SOWs, bids, scope definition, design cycles, design review, approvals, and contractor performance

Ideal Backgrounds

Strong candidates may come from backgrounds such as

Electrical Engineer moving toward PM / leadership:

Electrical Engineering degree with construction-facing experience and a clear move into project management, owner’s rep, field coordination, commissioning, or construction leadership.

Engineer who has moved into PM / owner’s rep work:

Electrical Engineer, Electrical Project Engineer, Electrical Field Engineer, Electrical Commissioning Engineer, or Electrical Power Systems Engineer who has transitioned into a more project-facing or owner’s rep-style role.

Experienced non-degreed electrical construction leader:

Candidates without an Electrical Engineering degree may still be considered if they have substantial experience overseeing electrical scopes on large-scale industrial, mission-critical, data center, power, or heavy infrastructure projects.

Candidates should be able to speak credibly about electrical distribution, construction execution, field issue resolution, contractor coordination, and commissioning support.

Start Date

Start timing is reasonably flexible. Candidates requiring approximately

2 weeks from offer or up to about 1 month

may still be considered, with an ideal start-date in September
