Field Coordinator, Transmission - Texas

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.

Responsibilities

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.

• 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.
