Field Evaluation Engineer

Our client is an established global testing, inspection and certification provider with a growing North American footprint. Their field evaluation team works directly on customer sites, assessing equipment that falls outside standard listed-product routes and helping manufacturers, panel builders and end users achieve compliance quickly.

This is a field-facing engineering position covering the West Coast to Midwest United States. You'll carry out field evaluations of industrial and commercial electrical equipment, working autonomously on customer sites and reporting directly into the head of the field evaluation function.

Key responsibilities

• Conduct on-site field evaluations of switchboards, industrial control panels and industrial machinery
• Assess equipment against applicable standards and produce clear, defensible evaluation reports
• Act as the technical point of contact for customers on site, resolving non-conformities and advising on corrective action
• Develop new business within your territory and maintain relationships with existing accounts

Requirements

• Strong working knowledge of UL 891 (switchboards) — this is the critical standard for the role
• Familiarity with NFPA 79 (industrial machinery) and UL 508A (industrial control panels)
• Field evaluation, AHJ, panel shop or electrical inspection background
• Willingness to work nights and weekends — this is a genuine requirement, not an occasional exception, as much of the work happens outside customer production hours
• High levels of travel, including out of state
