• U.S. work authorization required (no visa sponsorship available)
• MUST BE A US CITIZEN FOR Security Clearance

Responsibilities

• Execute functional performance testing and start-up procedures for low and medium-voltage systems
• Review and validate engineering documentation, test scripts, MOPs/SOPs, and redlines
• Coordinate with construction teams, vendors, and OEM representatives during commissioning
• Perform field inspections, troubleshoot issues, and ensure systems meet NFPA, NEC, and IEEE standards
• Develop and execute test plans for systems such as switchgear, relays, UPS, ATS/STS, PDUs, and VFDs

• Exposure to high-visibility, mission-critical projects
• Career growth through mentorship and technical development
• A collaborative, safety-first environment that values initiative and ownership
