In this role, you will develop the technical and field skills required to support Prysmian’s high-voltage underground cable and accessory installation projects while continuing a structured engineering education and training pathway.

What You’ll Bring

Experience and Qualifications:

You have a high school diploma or equivalent with strong math and technical aptitude; coursework in algebra, trigonometry, calculus, physics, electricity, engineering, or engineering technology is strongly preferred.

You are enrolled in, or willing to continue, a structured engineering or engineering-technology education pathway while developing practical field experience; a four-year engineering degree is not required at hire.

You bring strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and computer skills, with the ability to read technical drawings and travel to project sites across the U.S. and Canada as required.

What You’ll Do:

As a Field Engineering Technician, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers and field teams to support the planning and execution of high-voltage underground cable installation. Through a combination of field assignments, mentoring, and continued technical education, you’ll progressively build the capability to perform full Installation Engineer responsibilities.

• Plan cable installations. Support pulling plans and field calculations including pulling tension, sidewall pressure, bend radius, roller and sheave selection, cable routing, and installation risk assessment.
• Build technical expertise. Develop working knowledge of HV cable construction, ampacity and thermal performance, bonding and grounding, sheath systems, accessories, testing, and commissioning.
• Support field execution. Work with construction teams to evaluate ducts, trenches, thermal backfill, installation equipment, rigging, reel handling, and changing field conditions.
• Prepare engineering documents. Assist with drawings, calculations, RFIs, method statements, ITPs, technical reports, field records, deviations, and as-built documentation.
• Learn and troubleshoot. Participate in field problem solving and structured technical coursework in circuits, electromagnetics, power systems, HV cable systems, installation engineering, underground construction, and project engineering.
