E&I Coordinator

The E&I Coordinator is responsible for planning, coordinating, and overseeing all electrical and instrumentation construction activities to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient execution. This role acts as the technical and field-execution interface between engineering, procurement, construction contractors, quality, and commissioning teams. The Coordinator ensures that all E&I work is delivered according to project specifications, codes (CEC/CSA), company standards, and schedule requirements.

Key Responsibilities

1. Field Coordination & Construction Management

• Coordinate daily E&I construction activities with contractors to ensure alignment with project schedules and work-front availability.

• Interpret IFC drawings, electrical one-lines, cable schedules, loop drawings, P&IDs, and installation details for field crews.

• Verify field installation against design requirements and flag discrepancies, RFIs, and potential scope gaps.

• Coordinate materials, tools, equipment, and access so crews can maintain productivity.

• Support readiness for critical path activities such as energization, loop checks, FAT/SAT, and subsystem turnover.

2. Quality Assurance & Compliance

• Ensure installations comply with Alberta Electrical Code, CEC, CSA, ATEX/IECEx, and project specifications.

• Perform field inspections including:

• Cable tray installation & grounding

• Conduit, junction box, and cable terminations

• Instrumentation tubing, impulse lines, and heat trace

• MCC, transformer, panel, and skid connections

• Work closely with the Quality team to resolve NCRs, punch items, rework, and documentation gaps.

• Ensure that all E&I work is executed with proper permits (CWP, FLHA, LOTO, hot work, confined space, etc.).

3. Interface Management

• Coordinate interfaces between:

• Electrical & mechanical completions

• Instrumentation & controls/automation

• Construction & commissioning

• Vendor reps (VFDs, analyzers, instrumentation packages, skids)

• Ensure commissioning teams receive complete, ready-for-turnover systems (L1–L4 completions).

4. Documentation & Progress Tracking

• Maintain redline markups and ensure accurate as-built updates.

• Track E&I progress using installation quantities (meters of cable, terminations, loops, panels, devices).

• Prepare daily/weekly reports on manpower, progress, issues, and constraints.

• Assist with turnover documentation:

• Test sheets

• Cable megger reports

• Loop check sheets

• Instrument calibration certificates

• Pre-energization checklists

5. Safety Leadership

• Lead by example in enforcing project safety requirements and participating in daily toolbox talks and field inspections.

• Support safe execution of electrical energization activities (LOTO, arc-flash protection, isolation plans).

• Report safety observations and ensure corrective actions are followed.

6. Change Management & Problem Resolution

• Identify scope changes and assist Project Controls in preparing change requests.

• Provide technical guidance to resolve field issues quickly.

• Coordinate with Engineering for timely responses on RFIs, technical deviations, and design clarifications.

Required Qualifications

Education & Certifications

• Journeyman Electrician or Instrumentation Technician, or equivalent technical diploma/degree.

• Preferably AIT/Journeyman certified in Alberta.

• Valid safety tickets (CSO, Ground Disturbance, WHMIS, First Aid, etc.).

• Understanding of LOTO, arc-flash categories, and electrical safety.

Experience

• 5–10 years of E&I construction experience in oil & gas, SAGD, heavy industrial, or energy sector projects.

• Experience with well-pads, CPF brownfield tie-ins, OSBL infrastructure, or modular construction preferred.

• Familiarity with construction management in EPC/EPCM environments.

Core Competencies

• Strong knowledge of electrical and instrumentation codes and standards.

• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical documents.

• Excellent communication and coordination skills.

• Strong problem-solving abilities in field environments.

• Ability to work under tight schedules and manage multiple priorities.

• High attention to detail, especially for quality and turnover packages.
