This role requires significant travel during the 2026 commissioning phase, including extended on-site assignments at the Pecos plant. Travel demands are expected to decrease following customer handover in 2027, transitioning primarily to preventive maintenance and reactive support needs.

• Serve as the primary on-site field engineering contact for Electric Hydrogen's West Texas customer site
• Respond to urgent operational issues to minimize downtime and restore plant functionality
• Generate reports and present plant performance updates during regular customer meetings
• Act as an escalation point for field-related issues, coordinating cross-functional support when required
• Execute preventive, reactive, and predictive maintenance activities alongside customer and contract technicians
• Manage inventory, spare parts, replacement cycles, and equipment logistics
• Partner with supply chain and operations teams to improve spare parts strategies and lead times
• Ensure proper storage, traceability, and readiness of field tools and maintenance materials
• Utilize CMMS systems for maintenance planning, work order management, backlog tracking, maintenance records, and asset tracking
• Monitor plant health and improve diagnostic capabilities
• Develop and refine SOPs, checklists, training materials, and field service procedures
Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering required
• 3+ years of field engineering or similar hands-on experience supporting industrial or process equipment
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Experience within energy, electrochemical, hydrogen, or industrial systems environments
• Experience supporting commissioning and maintenance activities
• Familiarity with CMMS systems, spare parts planning, inventory management, and logistics coordination
• Strong customer-facing communication and relationship management skills
• Based in Texas or willing to relocate to Texas to support the high on-site presence required during the commissioning phase (2026 through early 2027)
