  • Mentor junior technicians and oversee field execution for safety and quality.
  • Partner with clients, vendors, and engineering teams to deliver world-class reliability.

  • Expertise in three-phase power systems, protection schemes, and SCADA integration.
  • Proficiency with Omicron, Doble, Vanguard, and related test equipment.
  • Skilled in RTS, Test Universe, Protection Suite, and Accelerator.
  • Strong leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel.
