Key Responsibilities

Constructability Review and Technical Governance

• Conduct targeted drawing reviews for projects where constructability input provides measurable value, specifically:
  • Sites greater than 5 MW
  • Non‑EPC projects
• Lead quality control (QC) and value engineering (VE) reviews for high‑impact installations.
• Serve as the primary reviewer for Tallgrass project drawing packages due to their scale and complexity.
• Evaluate technical handover packages and provide accept/veto recommendations to support early leadership decision‑making.
• Provide early‑stage constructability feedback to design teams to improve installation efficiency and reduce field rework.
• Identify opportunities to reduce installation cost, simplify construction sequencing, and mitigate field risk.

Specification Review and Value Engineering Oversight

• Review installation‑related specifications, material selections, and vendor proposals to identify cost‑saving alternatives and ensure alignment with Bloom standards.
• Evaluate alternate materials, conductor types, grounding approaches, and installation methods for technical suitability and cost impact.
• Provide recommendations for specification updates that improve cost, availability, constructability, or long‑term reliability.
• Partner with engineering and supply chain teams to validate alternate specifications and ensure proper follow‑through from recommendation to implementation.
• Support continuous improvement of installation specifications based on lessons learned, field feedback, and vendor performance.

Installation Documentation Ownership

• Manage the structure, accuracy, and ongoing updates of installation manuals across all product lines.
• Oversee third‑party contractors responsible for producing installation manual revisions.
• Ensure installation documentation reflects current standards, lessons learned, and field best practices.
• Maintain documentation quality and consistency as Bloom introduces new product variations.

Submittal Review and Field Support

• Review equipment submittals to ensure alignment with installation requirements and design intent.
• Provide technical clarification and support to field teams during installation and commissioning activities.
• Conduct targeted site visits (10–20% travel) to assess field conditions, resolve issues, and validate constructability assumptions.
• Support issue resolution by coordinating with engineering, construction, and field operations teams.
• Review and support development of MOPs associated with electrical energizations, tie-ins and commissioning.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with construction engineering, installation design, project management, and field operations teams to ensure alignment on installation requirements.
• Coordinate with drafting resources to ensure constructability requirements are accurately incorporated into construction documents.
• Participate in internal and external project meetings to provide updates on drawing reviews, documentation status, and technical handover readiness.
• Serve as a technical liaison between design teams and field execution teams to ensure alignment and reduce rework.

Required Skills and Competencies

• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, installation practices, and field execution constraints.
• Ability to identify cost‑saving and risk‑reducing opportunities within design packages and specifications.
• Experience reviewing construction drawings, installation documentation, or technical handover materials.
• High attention to detail with the ability to drive complex tasks to completion.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to convey technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently in a remote environment while managing multiple priorities.
• Effective collaboration skills with cross‑functional engineering and construction teams.

Preferred Experience

• Background in construction, installation, field engineering, or technical documentation.
• Experience supporting large‑scale infrastructure, energy, or industrial projects.
• Familiarity with permitting, construction submittals, and RFI processes.
• Experience coordinating with drafting or design teams on construction documentation.
• Exposure to specification development, alternate material evaluation, or value‑engineering processes.
