• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds independently using safe lifting practices and team assistance when appropriate.
• Work is primarily performed in a manufacturing and integration facility where safety footwear, eye protection, hearing protection, or other PPE may be required.
• Occasional travel may be required for training, commissioning support, customer requirements, or critical field activities.
• Ability to work extended hours, alternate shifts, weekends, or holidays when necessary to support production or project commitments.

• 3+ years of industrial electrical wiring, panel building, controls assembly, or comparable manufacturing experience.
• Hands-on experience with crimpers, torque tools, wire-preparation tools, hand tools, and digital multimeters.
• Strong attention to detail, safe work habits, accurate documentation, and a commitment to quality workmanship.
• Experience with battery energy storage systems, microgrids, generator controls, VFDs, power-conversion equipment, UL 508A practices, FAT, SAT, or commissioning is an asset.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED.
• Three or more years of industrial electrical wiring, panel building, controls assembly, or comparable manufacturing experience.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, bills of material, and mechanical drawings.
