Job description

Electrical Engineer (Testing & Commissioning)

Energy Storage & EV Charging | Extensive North American & International Travel

We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer (Testing & Commissioning) to support the testing, commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance of energy storage and EV charging systems across North America and international markets.

This is a field-based, travel-heavy role, not a traditional office engineering position. You will spend significant time travelling by car and plane, working at project sites, staying in hotels, and getting hands-on with equipment. The role can involve practical work such as wiring, crimping, testing, troubleshooting, and commissioning systems.

If you enjoy travelling, solving technical problems, and working directly with electrical equipment, this could be a great fit.

Key Responsibilities

• Test, commission, troubleshoot, and maintain EV charging and energy storage systems.
• Perform hands-on electrical work, including wiring, crimping, testing, and equipment connections.
• Read and interpret electrical drawings, schematics, and single-line diagrams.
• Troubleshoot electrical, controls, and communication issues.
• Support site installations and work with contractors and technicians.
• Complete testing documentation, field reports, and technical records.
• Provide on-site and remote technical support as required.
• Travel extensively across approximately 25 U.S. states and throughout Canada.
• Travel internationally, including to Africa and other global project locations.

Requirements

• Must be born in Canada. Canadian citizenship alone does not meet this requirement. Proof of Canadian birth will be required.
• P.Eng. designation is required.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering.
• 5+ years of relevant electrical engineering, commissioning, testing, or field experience.
• Strong hands-on electrical troubleshooting skills.
• Comfortable working with electrical equipment and performing practical field work.
• Willing and able to travel extensively by car and plane, including international travel.
• Comfortable spending significant periods away from home and working from hotels when required.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
• Able to work independently in the field.

EV, BESS, renewable energy, or industrial controls experience is an asset, but EV industry experience is not required.

The Opportunity

This is an ideal opportunity for an Electrical Engineer who wants to be out in the field rather than behind a desk. You will work on different projects, travel extensively, and play a hands-on role in bringing advanced energy systems online.

If you are technically strong, practical, adaptable, and genuinely enjoy travelling and getting involved in the work, we want to hear from you.
