• Strong documentation and communication skills with attention to detail in field reporting and compliance records.
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record and willingness to travel up to 80% nationwide.
• High school diploma or equivalent required; additional technical education is a plus but not mandatory.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation based on experience and field expertise
• High travel opportunity with nationwide exposure to large-scale energy infrastructure projects
• Hands-on work with industry-leading protection and control technologies
• Opportunities to work on critical high-voltage transmission and utility systems
• Ongoing technical experience across multiple relay platforms and testing tools
• Exposure to industry standards including NETA, IEEE, and NFPA practices
