Electrical Engineering for Construction Managers

Master the most challenging part of any construction project!

What you'll learn
- Electrical engineering applied to construction projects
- Fundamentals of electrical engineering
- Omhs law and basic concepts
- Power systems
- Communication systems
- Electrical safety
- The electrical design process
- Electrical construction

Requirements
- Some understanding of construction management and processes

Description
Electrical systems now make up 30-40% of project costs on data centers, hospitals, and industrial facilities. If you're managing these projects without understanding the basics of power distribution, you're flying blind.

This course gives you the electrical engineering foundation you need in under two hours.

The course is:

Proven- Thousands of students, 94% say our courses directly supported their career progression

Practical- Built with working engineers and construction managers. No academic theory—just what you need to coordinate electrical work, catch design issues early, and talk confidently with your electrical teams

Fast- Every unnecessary minute cut. You're busy running projects, not sitting in a classroom

Loaded with resources- Downloadable slides, and reference materials you'll actually use on site

What you'll learn:

Section 1 - Fundamentals

Core electrical concepts explained for non-engineers

How electrical systems integrate with overall project delivery

Why this matters more now than ever (data centers, renewables, electrification)

Section 2 - Power Systems

Distribution basics—from utility connection to your loads

Transformers, switchgear, and backup power

Reading single-line diagrams and equipment schedules

Section 3 - Communications & Data

Low voltage systems—structured cabling, fire alarm, security

Coordination between trades (this is where things usually break down)

Section 4 - Design Process

How electrical engineers actually design systems

Load calculations and equipment sizing

When to push back on designs that will cause problems in construction

Section 5 - Construction Process

Sequencing and coordination

Common installation issues and how to prevent them

Testing and commissioning—what you need to verify

Section 6 - Safety

Arc flash, shock hazards, and NFPA 70E basics

What you're legally responsible for knowing

Keeping your crew safe around energized equipment

To be honest, I wish I'd taken this course years ago. It would've saved me from dozens of coordination headaches and a few legitimately dangerous situations on site.

If you're ready to stop nodding along in electrical meetings and actually understand what's being built, let's get started.

Who this course is for:
- Construction managers
- Project engineers
- Project managers
- Quantity surveyors
