- Install, test, commission, and maintain HV/LV switchgear and transformers on customer sites
- Carry out diagnostics, fault finding, and electrical testing
- Lead subcontractors and engineers on-site
- Collaborate with project managers to deliver projects safely and to schedule
- Act as the on-site technical expert and key point of contact for customers
- Produce clear, accurate service reports
- Spot opportunities to recommend upgrades and solutions that enhance customer infrastructure and reliability
What You'll Need (Must-Haves)
- Commissioning experience
- Hands-on experience with LV and HV switchgear
- Experience working across 415V to 33kV electrical systems
