ABOUT BLUESHIFT PACIFIC
Blueshift Pacific is a hands-on engineering and operations firm built on decades of front-line experience in construction, commissioning, and industrial operations. We embed directly on client sites — driving facility buildouts, production launches, and full-system commissioning — to help companies become operational fast without big-firm overhead.
We operate as a lean, agile team. Joining us means working directly alongside senior engineering specialists, gaining clear visibility into the entire project lifecycle rather than just a single isolated component.
ROLE OVERVIEW
We are seeking a versatile Field Technician to assist in commissioning a startup industrial facility in Chester, Virginia. Working directly alongside our Senior Controls & Field Engineering Specialist, you will perform hands-on instrumentation, electrical, and mechanical verification tasks required to bring complex industrial systems online safely and efficiently.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Instrumentation & Electrical (I&E) Support
- Perform I&E checkout, loop checks, and field continuity testing during system startup.
- Troubleshoot, repair, and verify cable terminations and general field wiring.
- Assist with control loop troubleshooting and instrument verification against design specifications.
Mechanical & Field Verification
- Provide mechanical assembly support, including flange alignment, torquing/bolting, and equipment positioning.
- Assist in mechanical equipment installation and physical verification.
- Review P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams) and electrical schematics to verify physical field installations against design packages.
Documentation & Site Logistics
- Complete commissioning checklists, capture field measurements, and document redline changes on engineering drawings.
- Support daily site flow and logistics, including material pickups, parts runs, and equipment transport.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organized working environment in compliance with facility safety protocols.
WHAT YOU BRING
- Instrumentation & Electrical Experience: 2 years of hands-on I&E experience, preferably in an industrial, manufacturing, or heavy construction setting.
- Mechanical Aptitude: 2 years of hands-on mechanical work involving piping, mechanical assembly, valve maintenance, or industrial maintenance.
- Drawing Literacy: Ability to read and interpret P&IDs and basic electrical schematics (or the proven ability to pick them up rapidly).
- Work Ethic: Reliable, proactive, and self-directed. You take direction well and take ownership of tasks from start to finish.
- Environment Comfort: Comfortable working on active industrial and construction sites while strictly following safety standard operating procedures.
- Other Requirements: Must possess a valid driver's license.
SCHEDULE & TRAVEL LOGISITICS
- Work Schedule: Monday through Friday site presence, allowing you to be home every weekend.
- Local Candidates: Work directly from your home base in the Richmond / Chester, VA area.
- Non-Local Candidates: Full travel coverage provided, including round-trip transportation, lodging, and meal allowances.
