Job description

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.
