Constructability Review and Technical Governance

  • Conduct targeted drawing reviews for projects where constructability input provides measurable value, specifically:
    • Sites greater than 5 MW
    • Non‑EPC projects
  • Lead quality control (QC) and value engineering (VE) reviews for high‑impact installations.
  • Serve as the primary reviewer for Tallgrass project drawing packages due to their scale and complexity.
  • Evaluate technical handover packages and provide accept/veto recommendations to support early leadership decision‑making.
  • Provide early‑stage constructability feedback to design teams to improve installation efficiency and reduce field rework.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce installation cost, simplify construction sequencing, and mitigate field risk.

Specification Review and Value Engineering Oversight

  • Review installation‑related specifications, material selections, and vendor proposals to identify cost‑saving alternatives and ensure alignment with Bloom standards.
  • Evaluate alternate materials, conductor types, grounding approaches, and installation methods for technical suitability and cost impact.
  • Provide recommendations for specification updates that improve cost, availability, constructability, or long‑term reliability.
  • Partner with engineering and supply chain teams to validate alternate specifications and ensure proper follow‑through from recommendation to implementation.
  • Support continuous improvement of installation specifications based on lessons learned, field feedback, and vendor performance.

Installation Documentation Ownership

  • Manage the structure, accuracy, and ongoing updates of installation manuals across all product lines.
  • Oversee third‑party contractors responsible for producing installation manual revisions.
  • Ensure installation documentation reflects current standards, lessons learned, and field best practices.

Submittal Review and Field Support

  • Review equipment submittals to ensure alignment with installation requirements and design intent.
  • Provide technical clarification and support to field teams during installation and commissioning activities.
  • Conduct targeted site visits (10–20% travel) to assess field conditions, resolve issues, and validate constructability assumptions.
  • Support issue resolution by coordinating with engineering, construction, and field operations teams.
  • Review and support development of MOPs associated with electrical energizations, tie-ins and commissioning.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate with construction engineering, installation design, project management, and field operations teams to ensure alignment on installation requirements.
  • Coordinate with drafting resources to ensure constructability requirements are accurately incorporated into construction documents.
  • Participate in internal and external project meetings to provide updates on drawing reviews, documentation status, and technical handover readiness.
  • Serve as a technical liaison between design teams and field execution teams to ensure alignment and reduce rework.

Required Skills and Competencies

  • Ability to identify cost‑saving and risk‑reducing opportunities within design packages and specifications.
  • Experience reviewing construction drawings, installation documentation, or technical handover materials.
  • High attention to detail with the ability to drive complex tasks to completion.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to convey technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently in a remote environment while managing multiple priorities.
  • Effective collaboration skills with cross‑functional engineering and construction teams.

Preferred Experience

  • Familiarity with permitting, construction submittals, and RFI processes.
  • Experience coordinating with drafting or design teams on construction documentation.
  • Exposure to specification development, alternate material evaluation, or value‑engineering processes.
