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.
