Job description

Overview

Join to apply for the Electrical Specialist role at Global Edge Group.

An outstanding opportunity exists for a skilled and seasoned Electrical Specialist to join a leading team at the forefront of energy production. We are seeking a professional with a passion for electrical reliability, troubleshooting, and technical mentorship. This is a unique chance to transition from hands-on fieldwork to a strategic, leadership-focused role that directly impacts plant safety and long-term operational excellence. Sabine, TX - ($88 per hour), plus FREE Employee Medical Insurance, PTO, 401K, and option to extend 12 month Contract, or transition to direct.

• The electrical specialist role requires a deep understanding of electrical standards, failure analysis, and preventive maintenance practices.
• The role is a mix of 60% troubleshooting and 40% mentoring and consulting with technicians and engineering, representing the minimum expectation for this split across all specialist roles.
• No direct fieldwork is involved; instead, the specialist provides recommendations and guidance, such as suggesting parameters for technicians to investigate, who then follow procedures.
• This role functions as a maintenance engineering position, supporting both maintenance and long-term reliability improvement initiatives.
• The electrical specialist typically spends more time in the office compared to other specialists.
• Due to the nature of high-voltage electrical systems, the role involves a 50/50 mix of hands-on experience (looking at switchgear and failed components) and technical consulting/analysis of the distribution system from a desk.
• Programming experience is typically not required.
• Candidates with experience from electrical distribution centers or control rooms are considered.
• Major electrical systems include switchgear and electrical distribution, with very minor involvement with motors, focusing more on the generation and distribution of electricity.
• The specialist is expected to conduct formal training sessions and provide on-the-job coaching to maintenance technicians.

Role Requirements and Preferences

• Candidates for all specialist roles are strongly preferred to have oil and gas or LNG industry experience; those without it are unlikely to be interviewed.
• The electrical specialist role typically requires 5-10 years of experience, with a senior specialist (30 years experience) available to provide training and mentorship.
• Offshore oil and gas project experience is considered relevant.
