Transformer Technician II
About The Position
Native American Transformer Services, Inc. (NTS) is a Tribally-owned power transformer field services company operating on a national footprint. We partner with utilities, industrial clients, and EPC contractors to deliver transformer maintenance, testing, and commissioning services on some of the most technically demanding projects in the country. We're looking for a Transformer Technician II who brings real hands-on experience — someone who can troubleshoot a fresh unit with a factory anomaly just as confidently as they can work through a 40-year-old transformer with no original documentation. If you're the person on the crew who figures it out, we want to talk.

- Troubleshoot factory defects on new equipment using OEM factory test reports, design drawings, and nameplate data
