Develop and execute test plans for systems such as switchgear, relays, UPS, ATS/STS, PDUs, and VFDs

Support system integration activities for controls (SCADA, PLC, EPMS, BMS)

Track non-conformance items, manage resolutions, and contribute to project closeout documentation

Provide hands-on technical support during testing windows, sometimes including off-shift or weekend work

What You'll Bring

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or related discipline) with 7+ years of experience - OR

Master's degree with 5+ years of relevant experience

Demonstrated background in mission-critical commissioning, electrical construction, or power systems testing

Working knowledge of low/medium-voltage systems, protective relays, switchgear, and load bank testing

Familiarity with industry standards: NFPA 70E, NEC, IEEE, NETA

Proficiency with AutoCAD, Primavera P6, and commissioning management software (InfraLink or similar)

Strong documentation, vendor coordination, and QA/QC experience

Willingness to travel for field projects and adjust to flexible schedules based on testing timelines

U.S. work authorization required (no visa sponsorship available)

Why Join Us

You'll be part of a highly skilled engineering team tackling some of the most complex infrastructure challenges in the country. This role offers:

Competitive pay and comprehensive benefits

Exposure to high-visibility, mission-critical projects

Career growth through mentorship and technical development

A collaborative, safety-first environment that values initiative and ownership
