  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities involving electrical hardware and control systems.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, control logic, and technical documentation.
  • Excellent communication and project coordination skills.
Preferred
  • Experience with HVAC equipment, building automation systems (BMS), or environmental control systems.
  • Experience supporting field commissioning and startup activities.
  • Familiarity with NEC requirements and industrial electrical safety standards.
  • Experience working within a manufacturing or OEM environment.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
  • Join a growing engineering organization with a strong product portfolio.
  • Work on complex automation and controls projects from concept through commissioning.
