What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Project Engineer position at Avetix Engineering?
The client
Our client is a global leader in testing, inspection and certification with a long-established North American footprint. This role sits within their industrial equipment business, supporting manufacturers across medium-voltage switchgear, industrial machinery and automation.
The role
A senior, field-based engineering position anchored around an active client project at a manufacturing facility, with wider field work across the industrial portfolio filling the remainder of the diary.
How the week looks
- The anchor account requires on-site support roughly one to three days per week, carrying out inspections at their manufacturing facility
- Demand is forecast month by month, so the schedule is predictable rather than reactive
- You'd cover approximately three weeks per month on this account, with a second engineer handling the remaining visit as relationship management
- The balance of your time goes to other field opportunities across the industrial space — MV and switchgear work, NFPA 79 and IEC 60204-1 assessments
Key responsibilities
- Carry out inspections and field assessments at client manufacturing sites
- Manage industrial equipment projects from scope through to final report
- Interpret findings against the applicable standards and advise clients on corrective action
- Act as the senior technical contact for customers throughout the process
Requirements
- Background in the testing, inspection and certification sector with an industrial equipment focus
- 5 years' relevant experience
- Working knowledge of IEEE C37.20.3 and IEEE C37.74 — these are the core standards for the active project
- Knowledge of IEC 60204-1, NFPA 79, robotics and industrial functional safety would be a strong plus
- Based within a one-hour radius of either Bristol, VA or Lexington, KY
