Electrical Field Engineer / QA-QC – Medium Voltage
Locations:

- Clarksville, Arkansas – 100% Onsite
Project Start Date: February 1, 2027
Assignment: Expected to last 12-18 months
Start: ASAP – candidates must be able to mobilize to the site quickly
Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced Electrical Field Engineer / QA-QC professional to provide onsite construction support for a large, complex mission-critical facility and substation. This position will work directly with electrical contractors and the engineering/design team to verify construction quality, interpret design requirements, resolve field issues, and support timely project execution.
This is a field-focused electrical engineering role supporting medium- to high-voltage utility-scale construction projects, rather than a traditional office-based design engineering or building systems engineering position. Hands-on medium-voltage electrical construction experience is required, with high-voltage substation experience strongly preferred.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide onsite electrical construction and QA/QC support.
- Review electrical installations against drawings, specifications, one-lines, and design intent.
- Inspect and evaluate medium-voltage distribution systems and associated equipment.
- Support installation, testing, energization, startup, and turnover activities.
- Identify installation deficiencies, field conflicts, and construction issues requiring corrective action.
- Work directly with electrical contractors to investigate and resolve field conditions.
- Review electrical construction drawings, one-line diagrams, equipment documentation, and specifications.
- Support field activities involving switchgear, transformers, distribution equipment, and related systems.
- Document field observations, quality concerns, deficiencies, and corrective actions.
- Resolve appropriate field issues independently while quickly escalating design-related questions to the Engineer of Record/design team.
- Coordinate electrical work with mechanical, controls, and other project disciplines.
Requirements:
Qualifications
- 5+ years of relevant electrical construction, engineering, commissioning, or QA/QC experience.
- Hands-on medium-voltage electrical experience required.
- High-voltage substations projects preferred
- Strong knowledge of medium-voltage distribution, transformers, switchgear, and associated electrical equipment.
- Experience with electrical installation, testing, energization, startup, and/or commissioning.
- Ability to interpret electrical one-lines, construction drawings, specifications, and equipment documentation.
- Significant onsite construction and contractor coordination experience.
- Strong QA/QC mindset and ability to recognize installation or construction deficiencies.
- Ability to work independently and make sound field decisions within assigned authority.
- Strong communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills.
- Data center or power-generation experience strongly preferred; comparable large-infrastructure experience will be considered.
- Engineering degree preferred but not required with significant relevant field experience.

Field Engineer Jobs in Dallas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a field engineer job in Dallas?
Focus your search on Dallas's dominant hiring sectors: oil and gas infrastructure, telecom network buildout, commercial construction, and utilities. The Telecom Corridor near Richardson, the DFW industrial zone, and major construction projects along the northern tollway concentrate the most openings. Candidates with hands-on certifications, experience on large commercial job sites, or familiarity with SCADA or fiber systems have a clear edge over generalist applicants in this market.
Which companies hire field engineers in Dallas?
Dallas field engineer roles are posted by Shield AI, Balfour Beatty, and Rising Edge and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Dallas attracts a mix of global energy firms, regional telecom contractors, and large commercial construction companies that consistently hire field engineers at multiple experience levels.
Are there remote field engineer jobs in Dallas?
Yes, though field engineer roles are hands-on by nature, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 27% of field engineer openings tied to Dallas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with most hybrid arrangements applying to design review, project coordination, or technical support functions rather than on-site installation and inspection work.
How can I get a field engineer job in Dallas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Dallas is through field technician or field service representative roles at telecom contractors and utility companies, which regularly hire candidates with associate degrees or trade certifications and train on the job. Dallas-area community colleges partner with local contractors for apprenticeship pipelines, and large construction firms on DFW infrastructure projects often bring on junior field engineers willing to start in a support or site coordination capacity.
Which industries hire the most field engineers in Dallas?
Dallas field engineer roles concentrate in Construction & Real Estate, Automotive, and Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Dallas's position as a major energy hub, a national telecom crossroads, and one of the fastest-growing construction markets in the country keeps demand for field engineers consistently high across all three sectors.
