Local Advanced Support- Engineer

Acceptable Educational Pathways Associate degree in a technical discipline Technical certifications or apprenticeship programs Military technical training Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or related technical discipline Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) or related advanced technical discipline Advanced technical education may reduce required years of applicable field or technical support experience (examples: MSEE with 2+ years of experience; BSEE with 5+ years of experience; equivalent combinations of advanced technical education, military technical experience, commissioning experience, controls experience, or mission-critical operational support experience) Socomec Group (Socomec) is a global leader in electrical equipment engineering and manufacturing, specialized in low voltage energy performance. Socomec North America (NAM) is Socomec’s organization overseeing all operations in North America. About This Role The Local Advanced Support (LAS) role provides advanced technical and operational support for mission-critical power system service activities across authorized SOCOMEC product lines and operational environments. LAS serves as a primary technical support interface for complex customer service events, providing technical triage, remote troubleshooting, operational assessment, escalation coordination, and field execution support prior to and during service deployment activities. The role supports complex troubleshooting, operational recovery, advanced commissioning support, escalation stabilization, and high-risk service activities through advanced technical guidance, procedural reinforcement, and coordination with Field Service, TAS/TOS, engineering, manufacturers, and operational leadership functions. LAS personnel help improve field execution readiness by supporting technical assessment, service strategy alignment, field resources deployment readiness support, and parts recommendation activities supporting onsite service activities when appropriate. Safety & Operational Philosophy LAS personnel support mission-critical field operations where disciplined technical guidance, sound operational judgment, and consistent escalation practices directly affect personnel safety, system reliability, and customer operational continuity. In alignment with SOCOMEC’s Safety Culture and technical governance expectations, LAS personnel reinforce procedural discipline, approved operational practices, escalation integrity, and safe field execution across supported service activities and operational environments. Operational urgency, customer pressure, outage conditions, commissioning schedules, or service restoration objectives do not justify unauthorized technical direction, procedural deviation, or bypassing established escalation and engineering governance processes. LAS personnel are expected to recognize the limits of authorized support scope and to escalated conditions requiring TAS/TOS, engineering, product specialists, or additional operational controls. Safety remains the highest operational priority. LAS personnel are expected to reinforce stop-work authority, procedural compliance, hazard recognition, and disciplined operational behavior across all supported field activities. Key Responsibilities And Accountabilities Serve as a frontline technical support interface for customer and field service issues by providing remote troubleshooting, operational assessment, initial stabilization guidance, deployment readiness support, and parts recommendation coordination supporting onsite service activities when appropriate. Provide advanced troubleshooting, advanced commissioning support, operational recovery support, and procedural guidance for mission-critical power systems within approved authorization scope. Serve as the primary operational escalation coordination layer for field service activities by coordinating technical support efforts between field personnel, TAS/TOS, engineering, and operational leadership functions during complex or high-risk operational events. Provide direct onsite or remote support during escalated operational events, abnormal operating conditions, high-risk service activities, or technically sensitive situations requiring elevated coordination, stabilization, or escalation support. Reinforce approved procedures, escalation expectations, operational controls, technical governance standards, and disciplined field execution practices across supported service activities. Identify unsupported conditions, elevated operational risk, recurring technical issues, and conditions requiring additional engineering involvement, product escalation, or governance review. Maintain accurate technical documentation, escalation records, operational communication, and service feedback supporting operational continuity, procedural improvement, organizational learning, and execution improvement. Essential Qualifications, Experience, And Skills Demonstrated experience supporting mission-critical electrical power systems, critical infrastructure, industrial power systems, data center environments, or related technical service environments required. Advanced field service, commissioning, technical support, power systems, controls, military service, or equivalent operational experience strongly preferred. Experience supporting UPS systems, battery systems, static transfer switches, integrated power systems, monitoring systems, or related mission-critical infrastructure required. Typical LAS candidates possess a combination of advanced technical capability, operational maturity, escalation experience, and mission-critical support experience developed through field service, relevant military service, engineering, commissioning, controls, or related technical career pathways. Valid driver’s license and ability to obtain and maintain a valid passport for international travel. Advanced troubleshooting capability within authorized mission-critical power system support scope. Strong operational judgment within high-risk, customer-controlled, or rapidly changing operational environments. Ability to provide disciplined technical guidance while maintaining procedural compliance and escalation discipline. Strong understanding of mission-critical electrical infrastructure operational behavior, system interaction, and service risk management principles. Ability to communicate technical conditions, operational limitations, escalation requirements, and service expectations clearly and professionally during customer interactions, escalations, and high-pressure operational events. Demonstrated ability to coordinate and prioritize simultaneous technical support activities and escalations across multiple operational environments. Demonstrated escalation maturity and ability to recognize unsupported, abnormal, or engineering-governed conditions. Effective technical communication capability across field personnel, customers, engineering support functions, and leadership teams. Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, electrical schematics, procedures, sequence-of-operations documentation, and operational technical documentation. Programming, scripting, relay logic, controls integration, EMS/SCADA, or advanced automation experience beneficial but not required unless specifically assigned to specialized support functions. Remote operational and technical support activities supporting customers, field personnel, and mission-critical service operations from home office or SOCOMEC office environments when not supporting travel or onsite operational activities. Field work in electrical rooms, battery energy storage environments, data centers, industrial facilities, and customer operational sites as operationally required. Ability to support travel, escalation response, commissioning support, customer operational requirements, and after-hours or weekend activities when operationally required. Commitment to continuous technical development, operational learning, procedural improvement, product training, and cross-functional technical growth necessary to support evolving technologies, integrated power environments, and mission-critical customer requirements. Ability to obtain access to customer sites requiring background checks or security clearances where applicable. Successful completion of pre-employment drug screening and background checks where applicable.
