• Use industry-leading RTU configuration tools (e.g., SEL, GE) to support installation, setup, and maintenance.
• Diagnose issues in electrical circuits, communication networks, and control logic.
• Collaborate with teams in the field and office to deliver quality results on schedule.
• Provide mentoring and technical support to junior staff and technicians.
• Demonstrate initiative, organization, and independent decision-making every step of the way.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, or Systems Engineering (or similar technical discipline). 
• Understanding of electrical drawings, control circuits, and substation systems.
• Familiarity with RTU and SCADA software tools — experience with SEL and GE is a plus.
• Strong attention to detail, documentation skills, and a passion for troubleshooting.
