• Read and interpret electrical schematics, one-lines, wiring diagrams and shop drawings to complete installations and hook-ups
• Support energization, commissioning, startup activities and post-commission testing and troubleshooting
• Perform inspections, preventative maintenance, quality checks and document work per site procedures and electrical codes
• Follow site safety plans, lockout/tagout, confined space protocols and participate in toolbox talks and jobsite safety audits

What we're looking for

• Proven substation, utility, industrial or high-voltage electrical experience working with MV and HV systems
• Hands-on experience with cable terminations, splices, testing and system troubleshooting
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics and wiring diagrams
• OSHA 10 certification required and strong commitment to jobsite safety
• Willingness to work outdoors at heights in varying West Texas weather and follow all site safety procedures

Qualifications

• OSHA 10 (required)
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• High school diploma or GED (preferred)
• Ability to pass pre-employment drug screen and background check
• Preferred: NETA or trade certification, journeyman-level qualifications, and CPR/First Aid training

What we offer

• Site-provided PPE and site-specific safety & orientation training
