Why This Work Matters

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories exists to make electric power safer, more reliable, and more economical. Every SEL product is tested before it ships, and the test systems this team builds are what make that testing possible.

• Building test stations and fixtures alongside your team, including routing and terminating cabling from drawings, and setting the standard for craftsmanship.
• Providing clear direction and priorities for the team.
• Supporting team members by removing roadblocks, solving problems, and keeping people, drawings, and materials ready.
• Coordinating priorities and work handoffs with the senior supervisor and other shifts.
• Inspiring and supporting employee performance and engagement by mentoring, teaching, and coaching your team.
