EV charging experience is strongly preferred, but EVITP certification is not required to apply.

• Troubleshoot, diagnose, repair, and maintain EV charging stations / EVSE.
• Diagnose electrical and electromechanical issues using multimeters, diagnostic equipment, and hand tools.
• Perform preventive maintenance and root-cause troubleshooting.
• Configure charger settings and troubleshoot Wi-Fi, cellular, and network connectivity.
• Troubleshoot building electrical and low-voltage wiring.
• Communicate with customers and property managers regarding repairs and service status.

This is a highly mobile position with up to 85% field travel.
