This role is open to candidates with 1 to 5 years of relevant experience. The level at which you join will reflect your background and what you bring to the table.

• Read and follow one-line diagrams; make edits to create accurate as-built drawings
• Manage field documentation: digital photography and photo organization, file upload to shared storage, data entry into spreadsheets and reporting tools
• Apply arc flash labels to electrical equipment
• Create reports for the inspections you perform
• Manage the full customer relationship on-site -- build trust through professional conduct and identify opportunities to pass cross-sell leads to the sales team

• Working knowledge of NFPA 70E; able to execute NFPA compliance testing independently in the field
• Ability to operate the full range of electrical testing equipment on live and de-energized electrical equipment

• Proficiency with standard field technology: digital photography, cloud file storage, spreadsheets, and reporting tools
• High school diploma or equivalent; associate or technical degree preferred
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel by air; must reside within one hour of a major airport

Additional Information

• This is a 100% travel position

What We Offer

• Compensation package commensurate with experience and skills
• Health insurance
• 401(k)
• Flexible working policy
• Year-round work

We are seeking a teammate with the values, skills, and passion to build Guidant Power into the premier partner for electrical safety, reliability, and safety services. Even if you don't check all the boxes above, but you bring a unique ability to help us fill this important role, we'd love to hear from you.
