  • Familiarity with electrical equipment such as switchgear, MCCs, VFDs, motors, and generator controls.
  • Knowledge of industrial electrical standards and NEC requirements.
  • Experience reading and interpreting electrical schematics, P&IDs, and single-line drawings.
  • Hands-on experience with PLCs, HMIs, protective relays, and generator synchronization systems.
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities in electrical and controls environments.
  • Experience with industrial generator control platforms and engine management systems is highly preferred.
  • Comfortable supporting both office engineering work and field commissioning activities.
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office and engineering-related software tools.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively in team environments.
  • Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship requirements.
