The Field Service Engineer is responsible for the startup and commissioning of control systems. They will also support engineering activities and assist with factory testing of products. Familiarity with the technologies for turbine generators of combustion turbines, steam as well as hydro units, is a plus. This person is involved in all engineering activities associated with our business in the US, Canada and Americas. Position requires engineer to travel up to 90% of their time and stay for extended time (~ 6 weeks) on jobsites.

Fire Resistant Clothing (being long sleeve and trousers), safety glasses, steel toe dielectric boots and hard hat are required during site visits (90% of field engineer’s on-site time). Due to construction, work environment is dusty or muddy. Work environment may have excessive amount of noise due to rotating combustion turbine operation coupled with generators requiring hearing protection devices. Especially during removal and installation of the equipment, machine grinder will be operating to cut the welding/bolts of the cabinets and a welding machine may need to be used during installation which generates high noise, small metal pieces and stress on the eyes due to flash / bright light emissions. Hazard protection is required for such conditions. Company will provide proper PPE. Field engineer should be able to lift 50lb. Most of the tool boxes weight around 45lb and may need to be carried up to turbine deck climbing up stairs. Due to nature of the service job, Field engineer will need to be available for travel on short notice regardless of the time of the day or day of the week. Outages on sites are kept as short as possible to be productive so this requires extended work hours and/or shift work/night work.
