• Collaborate with field supervisors, project managers, and other technicians to deliver efficient service.

Qualifications:

• 2+ years of experience with industrial DC power systems, stationary batteries, or related equipment.

• Experience with commercial battery systems will be considered, though industrial background is preferred.

• Familiarity with testing methods (capacity, impedance, load testing).

• Ability to read and interpret schematics and follow technical procedures.

• Strong troubleshooting skills with electrical or electro-mechanical equipment.

• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel locally and occasionally out of state.
