The position offers opportunities for travel and relocation, and we’re seeking candidates who are open to this flexibility. Please note that the role is not based in Chicago. Monthly per diem and mobilization is on offer.

• Serve as a trusted partner to clients and contractors
Operational Contributions
• Complete field reports, documentation, and time management
• Support scheduling and revenue targets
Team Development
• Mentor junior engineers and support training initiatives
What You Bring
Core Qualifications
• Electrical Engineering degree or Qualified Electrician background
• 7+ years in electrical systems OR 3+ years commissioning
