  • Running and connected loads
  • Motor-starting requirements
  • Load steps and transient performance
  • Voltage and electrical configuration
  • Fuel type
  • Altitude and ambient temperature
  • Site and application conditions
• Design and support complete generator systems incorporating generators, automatic transfer switches, switchgear, controls, paralleling equipment, and related components.
• Evaluate challenging electrical loads, including VFDs, UPS systems, and other nonlinear loads, and understand their impact on generator sizing and system performance.

Quotation & Sales Support

• Help identify required service parts, replacement components, and appropriate technical solutions.
• Use practical field experience to help diagnose problems and provide solutions that can be successfully implemented in the field.
• Support customers and internal teams with generator application, service, and parts questions.

Project & Team Coordination

• Work closely with sales, engineering, customer experience, service technicians, manufacturers, and customers throughout the project lifecycle.
• Coordinate technical requirements during equipment selection, quotation, submittals, delivery, startup, and troubleshooting.
• Review application requirements and communicate potential technical concerns before equipment is ordered or installed.
• Assist in resolving application or equipment issues that arise during project execution.
• Help bridge communication between customers, field personnel, sales, and engineering.

Qualifications

• Ability to communicate technical information clearly to customers, technicians, sales personnel, and other team members.
• Comfortable working in a customer-facing technical support environment.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to support multiple projects and customer needs simultaneously.

Preferred

• 10+ years of generator field service or closely related industry experience.
• Experience developing generator quotations and equipment scopes.
• Experience with generator application engineering and system design.
• Knowledge of motor starting and generator transient load considerations.
• Experience applying generators to VFD, UPS, and other nonlinear loads.
• Experience with paralleling generator systems and associated controls or switchgear.
• Previous experience working directly with generator manufacturers and their application or service teams.

Ideal Candidate
