In this role, you'll install, repair, troubleshoot, and maintain the electrical systems that keep facilities, operations, and mission critical infrastructure functioning safely and reliably.

You'll work across a wide range of systems - from distribution panels and switchgear to emergency power, alarms, lighting systems, and generators - ensuring the installation remains safe, resilient, and ready.

This position is Mission Essential, meaning your expertise directly supports continuity of operations during emergencies and full mission resumption.

Work includes secondary distribution systems, emergency warning systems, intrusion and fire alarms, cathodic and lightning protection systems, street and high intensity lighting, and generator electrical output testing.
