Warranties
Product Submittals
Redlines
Leads and superintendents oversee submitting changes to SoW. Redlines are completed and submitted to engineering by Field Engineers. Engineering creates an internal calendar to track required tasks and finalization dates.
Build‑out
Responsible for measurements, equipment placements, grounding and bonding. Field Engineers verify that all infrastructure is installed to design/spec and finalize redlines for closeout when changes occur.
Fiber
Use an internal tracker as key for redlines. Field Engineers update the design based on customer plans and verify all Fiber scope.
Copper
Internal tracker provides information for close‑out. Field Engineer may be the POC to ensure installations match prints, and any changes are redlined and submitted. Verification occurs before close‑out.
Network
If required, Field Engineer works with the team to configure details and takes most responsibilities for redlines.
RFI referencing/implementation
Field Engineer references RFIs on redlines as the final task before sending for QA review.
Test Audits
Field Engineers run and verify audits after projects complete. They verify cable schedules, build projects per team requirements, ensure tests match prints, create audit packages, handle re‑tests, and finalize audits based on a schedule.
Lessons Learned
Document updated throughout the build; at project end teams review a standardized template. Information is sourced from the lessons learned tracker.
Warranties
Field Engineer gathers data for warranty processing and completion; designates a team member for documentation submission.
Product Submittals
Field Engineer completes product submittals, starting with the first one after RFP issuance. Verification of BOM with POs and acquisition of product sheets is required.
Labels
Print labels for installation teams before installation. Bins organized per area, sign‑out sheet maintained, and emails sent to engineering teams for re‑prints with reasons.
RFIs
Field Engineer may be the main engineer overseeing RFIs before submission. Conforms and submits collaboratively; acceptance or rejection is formally sent to applicable teams. Design feedback becomes lessons learned.
Design (Shop Drawings)
Field Engineer may oversee design work: verify, brainstorm quality gaps, submit into BIM360, track revisions and hyperlinks. Focus areas: infrastructure (grounding/bonding), copper, fiber, detail sheets.
