Electrical Workface Planner

Bechtel Corporation • Johnstown, OH

13h • Onsite

About The Position

The Electrical Workface Planner develops and maintains Installation Work Packages (IWPs) for electrical construction scopes in accordance with the project Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) program. Reporting to the AWP Manager, the planner translates Construction Work Packages (CWPs) into field-ready, constraint-free IWPs that provide electrical superintendents, foremen, and craft workers with the information needed to install work safely, efficiently, and in the correct sequence.

The planner collaborates with electrical field engineers, superintendents, project controls, materials management, scaffolding, and other discipline planners to identify and remove constraints, verify material availability, and maintain a backlog of released packages supporting the construction schedule across the Fab, support buildings, and utility facilities.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline from an accredited university, and 2–5 years of relevant experience; or 6–9 years of relevant work experience.
• Working knowledge of electrical construction methods, including raceway, cable installation and termination, grounding, and power distribution equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical one-line diagrams, schematics, plan drawings, cable and raceway schedules, and specifications.
• Understanding of Advanced Work Packaging principles, including CWPs, IWPs, constraint management, package release, and closeout.
• Familiarity with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and NFPA 70E electrical safety requirements.
• Knowledge and understanding of the Project Environmental, Safety & Health (ES&H) Handbook and Bechtel's Zero Accidents safety program.
• Computer literacy in word processing, spreadsheet, and database applications.
• Good communication, organization, and problem-solving ability.
• Physical ability to conduct field inspections involving extensive walking in and around a construction site, climbing ladders and scaffolding, working on elevated platforms and uneven surfaces, and working in small or confined spaces.

Nice To Haves

• Workface planning or work packaging experience on large industrial, power, data center, or semiconductor projects.
• Experience with AWP and 3D model tools such as Navisworks, and project scheduling software such as Primavera P6.
• Familiarity with Bechtel Standard Applications (BSAPs), including TEAMWorks, Aconex, Bechtel Productivity System, and other automation tools used on Bechtel projects.
• Understanding of applicable Bechtel work processes, including Standard Work Process Procedures and the Bechtel Core Processes.

Responsibilities

• Develop Installation Work Packages for electrical scopes, including cable tray and conduit, cable pull and termination, grounding, lighting, power distribution equipment, motor control centers, switchgear, transformers, and instrumentation interfaces.
• Break down Construction Work Packages into IWPs sized to project AWP requirements, with clear scope boundaries, work steps, and installation sequence.
• Assemble package content, including drawings, cable and raceway schedules, specifications, vendor data, material lists, ITP and inspection requirements, safety and permit requirements, quantities, and budgeted hours.
• Identify and track package constraints, including engineering holds, RFIs, material shortages, scaffolding, access, predecessor work, and permits, and coordinate their removal before package release.
• Verify material availability through the project materials management system and coordinate reservations and warehouse issuing for released packages.
• Coordinate with electrical field engineers on design changes, field change documentation, and constructability issues affecting work packages.
• Maintain a backlog of constraint-free IWPs ahead of the construction look-ahead schedule and support weekly planning and package release meetings with superintendents and project controls.
• Perform field walkdowns to confirm package scope, access, and site readiness, and verify field progress against package content.
• Track IWP status, installed quantities, and package closeout, and provide progress and backlog data to project controls.
• Close out completed work packages, ensuring redlines, inspection records, and quality documentation are complete and turned over for as-built and turnover requirements.
• Coordinate interfaces with other discipline workface planners and system turnover boundaries to support sequencing and mechanical completion.
• Use project AWP and 3D model tools to extract package information and visualize scope, sequence, and constraints.
• Complete assigned training requirements.

Benefits

• Robust benefits intended to support employees' well-being and growth, including career advancement, programs to enhance company culture, and time to recharge.
