The Transmission Field Coordinator leads planning and readiness activities for high‑voltage transmission line and substation work, ensuring safe, compliant, and first‑time‑right execution. The role proactively identifies hazards, evaluates structure and ROW conditions, and determines when EWP or BMAD analysis is required. Work plans incorporate Life Critical Rules, MAD/BMAD requirements, grounding schemes, fall‑protection needs, LOTO/clearance steps, and all relevant transmission safe‑work practices. The Field Coordinator ensures that all transmission jobs are designed and prepared in alignment with engineering standards, conductor installation methods, hardware assemblies, and substation equipment specifications. Pre‑construction reviews—such as structure assessments, access verification, and material checks—are essential to eliminating field delays and constructability issues.

The role prepares switching steps, isolation points, breaker lineups, tagging requirements, and outage sequencing in collaboration with Transmission Control Center, ensuring system protection, accuracy, and operational feasibility. Execution readiness includes verifying structure access, crane/tensioning locations, conductor paths, environmental/ROW requirements, permits, logistics, and specialized equipment. The coordinator partners with Construction, System Operations, ROW, Environmental, Dispatch, Warehousing, and contractors to remove barriers and support seamless field execution. Additionally, the Field Coordinator provides technical coaching, anticipates challenges in rigging, tensions, and equipment limitations, and contributes to post‑job reviews to strengthen future planning and work quality.

• Safety Leadership & High‑Risk Planning

Anticipates and identifies hazards in distribution work before execution; determines when

EWP/DWP is required; embeds Life Critical Rules, grounding, clearances, and Safe Work Practices into all pre‑job documentation; and ensures safety controls and equipment are in place before crews mobilize.

• Standards Compliance, Quality Control & Work Package Validation

Ensures distribution jobs align with construction and maintenance standards; performs pre‑construction reviews, site assessments, and material verification; and uses structured QA/QC (redlines, as‑builts, specification checks) to eliminate discrepancies before field execution.

• System Operations Support, Switching Readiness & Outage Planning

Prepares and validates switching packages, isolation points, and outage steps for distribution work; coordinates with Distribution Operations Center (DOC) to ensure safe sequencing; and applies knowledge of DACT/OMS to support restoration readiness for routine and emergent events.

• Execution Readiness & Work Enablement

Confirms distribution jobs are fully ready by validating access, environmental needs, permits, logistics, equipment staging, and material availability; resolves constraints early and coordinates across Construction, Dispatch, and Supply Chain, to ensure smooth field execution.

• Technical Coaching, Troubleshooting & Field Support

Enhances crew success by clarifying job expectations, preparing accurate and actionable work plans, resolving planning‑phase challenges, participating in post‑job reviews, and intervening early when documentation or work‑practice gaps could compromise safety or quality.

High School Diploma or equivalent or related work experience. Associate’s degree or Bachelor’s degree preferred.     7+ years of Substation, Relay, or Linework (Distribution or Transmission) experience with
