Field Coordinator, Transmission- Louisiana

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
