  • Travel to job sites for coordination meetings, installation support, debugging, startup, and standby.

  • Support shop operations, equipment testing, and troubleshooting as needed.

  • Maintain and archive project files, drawings, and software upon project completion.

  • Uphold internal standards, documentation requirements, and continuous improvement initiatives.

  • Demonstrate strong teamwork, communication, and professionalism.

  • Perform additional duties as required to support successful project execution.

Qualifications

  • Strong ability to interpret specifications, drawings, and design documents.

  • Hands-on experience with AutoCAD, PLC programming, and industrial control systems.

  • Able to work independently and manage priorities effectively.

  • Comfortable working in industrial plant environments and complying with site safety protocols.

  • Strong communication, coordination, and leadership skills.

  • Valid driver’s license and ability to pass jobsite-specific and international travel requirements.

  • Must be able to obtain/maintain a U.S. Passport and pass required drug screenings.
