Responsibilities

• Function as a lead electrical/software engineer at site/office and provide technical supervision to other electrical engineers, technicians, craft, and other workers on a daily basis for the site/office. Work with the project manager to establish work requirements, determine what is needed at the site to keep customer acceptance moving forward, meet schedules, and daily review of work activities. Work and support the Installation Site Supervisor.
• Be able to trouble shoot and update/modify computer programs such as PLC code or HMI programs that automate specific business processes.
• Be able to understand, read, design, and mark up single line diagrams, schematics, panel layouts, interconnect, and conduit drawings released by Engineering. These “as-built” drawings and mark‑ups must be returned to Engineering so configuration control can be maintained.
• Calculate wire sizes, drive sizes, braking resistors, transformers, contactors, and overload protection for any model crane up to 800 volts D.C. and up to 4160 volts A.C. from schematics or other information provided by customer specifications using appropriate electrical codes and appropriate Konecranes standards.
• Participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and solve problems (shop or field) by working with other engineers and service technicians, along with persons in other departments, to research and define problems, research, and prepare solutions by properly communicating with the necessary personnel.
• Be the engineering/software lead at the site to get the equipment ready for testing and then accomplish the testing in the most effective path forward as possible. This would include going through the Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) procedure, step by step, with the customer to prove the equipment works as intended.
• Excellent customer relations attitude: the individual needs to be a solution‑oriented person that will work to satisfy the customer and complete the testing/start up as expeditiously as possible. The willingness and drive to self‑teach/learn new material and understand design concepts.
