About The Position

Are you looking to join an innovative engineering consulting firm supporting
critical electric utility programs across Iowa? ENTRUST Solutions Group is
seeking a Design Technician to support our growing Electric Programs team in Des
Moines, Davenport, Sioux City, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City. This role
is ideal for entry‑level candidates, while also being open to individuals with

ENTRUST continues to expand into key markets including renewables, power
engineering services, EV infrastructure, data analytics, and geospatial,
delivering cutting‑edge engineering, consulting, and automation services. As a
Design Technician, you will support electric utility projects through a

walking job sites, taking measurements, and working outdoors in varying
conditions. A valid driver’s license is required, as local travel to field sites
