Free Electrical Engineer Timesheet Template
Electrical engineers on consultancy or freelance engagements work across design, specification, testing, and commissioning phases that each require precise time recording for accurate billing. A timesheet that identifies the electrical system or installation being worked on gives clients a clear audit trail and helps project managers track engineering hours against the programme. Detailed records are particularly important on projects where fee reimbursement depends on demonstrating work completed.

Frequently asked questions
How do I record time spent reviewing contractor shop drawings and submittals?
Log each submittal review as a separate entry with the document reference and revision number. 'Review and comment on contractor submittal for LV panel schedule, revision B' is a complete record. This is billable time and on large projects can accumulate significantly during the construction phase.
Should I charge for attendance at factory acceptance tests for equipment I have specified?
Yes. Factory acceptance testing is a professional engineering service. Record the FAT attendance time and any travel separately. Witnessing tests at the manufacturer's facility is standard practice for major electrical equipment and is a legitimate billable activity.
How do I handle time spent on a project variation that was instructed verbally?
Log the time accurately as soon as the variation work begins, and note in the description that it relates to a verbal instruction. Follow up with the project manager to confirm the instruction in writing. Your timesheet record from the point of instruction protects your fee claim even before written confirmation is received.
