• Ability to interpret one-lines, schematics, loop drawings, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, instrument indexes, and vendor documentation.
• Experience with inspection and test plans, nonconformance control, punch management, calibration records, loop folders, and turnover documentation.
• Good judgment in distinguishing construction completion from safe energization and commissioning readiness.
• Ability to work in active industrial areas and outdoors in West Texas conditions.

Preferred Qualifications

• NICET, ISA, NETA, NCCER, or another applicable electrical or instrumentation credential.
• NFPA 70E training.
• Experience in gas processing, midstream, petrochemical, or power projects.
