FIELDThe Role Of An Electrical Engineer In The
Construction Industry
In general, the task of an electrical engineer is to
design high-voltage equipment such as wiring systems,
power distribution systems, generators, lighting systems,
etc. Within the construction industry, however, an
electrical engineer has many responsibilities especially
when it comes to a construction site.
 In both residential and commercial
buildings, while some elements like lighting
fixtures and receptacles, or those with a
function that requires it are exposed, most
components of electrical installations are
hidden from sight using access doors.
 However, electrical systems in
building interiors are more evident in
industrial settings where there are no
drywalls or dropped ceilings to hide
junction boxes, conduits, and other
accessories.
 At construction sites, it is the duty of
electrical site engineers to direct and
oversee electrical engineering projects
at construction sites, resolve issues, and
ensure that work is completed according
to specifications.
ROLES OF EE IN
CONSTRUCTION
FIELD
#1 Designing Electrical Systems
It is the duty of electrical engineers to design electrical
systems for commercial, residential, and industrial
construction projects. High-voltage systems for delivering
power and low-voltage applications such as Ethernet and
fiber-optic lines are also included. They also have to work
closely with designers in order to determine how to
effectively incorporate electrical elements, prepare
blueprints, and to incorporate electrical elements.
#2 Directing Electrical Contractors
Electrical engineers also have the role of directly
overseeing and managing teams of electrical contractors
and subcontractors. Moreover, they may direct daily
activities, answer questions about power needs and electric
codes, as well as guide workers throughout the construction
process. Many engineers also work on elements of
construction projects themselves, collaborating with
electricians and other contractors.
#3 Resolving Electrical Issues
When it comes to issues related to electric systems or
devices that arise during the construction project, it is also
the duty of electrical engineers to resolve such issues. When
existing electrical plans and blueprints are no longer viable,
or specifications may change requiring a different power
configuration resulting from changes to a building’s design
or practical concerns, electrical engineers should quickly
revise plans to resolve issues and prevent delays.
#4 Developing Cost Estimates
Electrical site engineers help develop cost estimates for
both material and labor at the onset of the construction
planning process. They also estimate manpower and
timelines in order to give project managers the information
needed for contractor bids and to ensure that the project
stays within budget. They also analyze blueprints and site
specifications to project the amount of wire, fixtures, and
other required materials.
#5 Managing Construction Schedules
Managing construction schedules related to electrical
elements of job sites is also one of the duties of electrical
engineers. They also have to work closely with both planners
and utility providers to determine when project milestones will
be completed to avoid delays, as well as maintain profitability.
They also frequently determine schedules in collaboration with
subcontractors in ensuring that electrical work is completed
together with other elements of the project.
#6 Conduct Of System Testing
Throughout the construction process, electrical engineers
also conduct tests of electrical systems. This also includes
overseeing final inspections of the job and testing individual
components or the whole system itself. They also have to
check the contractors’ work to ensure that they adhere to
local and national electrical codes, safe operation of all
devices, and even accurate power delivery.

 The electrical engineers in the construction site also
read and study the electrical plans (usually done by
electrical design engineers), implement them on the site,
and sometimes do necessary actions to correct or improve
the design.
They coordinate with other electrical engineers to
implement the electrical system design and with other
engineers from different fields, such as civil and
mechanical engineers, to make the construction job more
manageable.
