Electrical Engineer (Field Based)

Electrical/Mechanical Coordinator – Data Center Project (Cheyenne, WY)

We’re hiring an early‑career Electrical Engineer who wants to step out of pure design work and build a long‑term career in field‑driven coordination, commissioning, and construction support. This role is based in Cheyenne, WY, supporting a large‑scale mission‑critical data center project and offers hands‑on exposure to complex MEP systems from day one.

What You’ll Do

• Estimating & Scheduling — Support quantity takeoffs, schedule development, and planning for electrical and mechanical scopes.
• Quality Control — Perform field QC checks, verify installation quality, and ensure work aligns with design intent.

• Field Coordination — Work directly with engineers, subcontractors, and vendors to resolve issues and support system integration.
• Documentation & Reporting — Maintain commissioning logs, reports, and issue tracking throughout the project lifecycle.
• Cross‑Discipline Exposure — While the work is 70% electrical, you’ll gain meaningful exposure to mechanical systems and full MEP coordination.
