An electrical or controls background is required, and we invest heavily in your certification.

This is our most certification-intensive field track. It's built on the full Cat Electric Power progression plus startup-specific controls training, and skills are validated through formal Cat skills assessments, not just course completion. During startup, you'll often be the technical point of contact on the client's site.

- Program and troubleshoot EMCP 4.x, ECS 100 and ECS 200 controls, paralleling controls, and engine control units using Cat ET
- Commission automatic transfer switches and switchgear, including paralleling switchgear on multi-genset data center sites
- Lead site acceptance and load-bank witness testing with the client during handover
- Isolate faults on generators, engines, controls, paralleling, and ATS/switchgear using schematics and electronic service tools

Requirements

What you bring

- EMCP 4.1/4.2 and 4.3/4.4 Controls; Cat Energy Control System (ECS) 100/200
