If you’re the engineer who likes being where the action is… not behind a desk… this is your kind of role.
Our client is a highly respected engineering and automation firm with a strong reputation, steady project pipeline, and something most companies can’t offer: employee ownership . They’re adding a Field Engineer who wants technical ownership, client visibility, and the chance to solve real electrical and control system challenges in the field.
This is a seat where you’re trusted. Where your decisions matter. Where you’re the person people call when it has to work.
What You’ll Own
Lead on-site execution of electrical and control system projects
Support installation, startup, testing, and commissioning of industrial systems up to 480VAC
Troubleshoot real-world issues and drive solutions, not paperwork
Work directly with clients, contractors, and engineering teams
Direct field crews and keep projects moving safely and on schedule
Perform system walkdowns and field verification for accurate as-builts
Participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and system validation
The Technical Environment
Industrial power and electrical systems (up to 480VAC)
Electrical drawings, single-lines, panels, and field wiring
NEC / NFPA standards
Nice to have:
PLC/HMI exposure (Allen-Bradley, FactoryTalk, Wonderware, iFIX, etc.)
AutoCAD redlines or field updates
Protection relays, historians, or industrial communications
Travel (Structured, Predictable)
75% travel
Typically 3–4 day travel weeks
About one week per month working locally
Not constant chaos or last-minute schedules
Compensation & Benefits
$110–130K base
$30–40K additional (straight-time OT + bonus)
$140–165K+ total compensation
Plus:
Paid for every hour worked
ESOP – real ownership in the company
401(k) match
Employee medical fully covered + strong family options
HSA company contribution
4 weeks PTO , fully bankable year to year
Why Engineers Take This Role
You’re in the field solving real problems, not watching from the sidelines
High visibility with clients and leadership
Strong backlog and long-term stability
Employee-owned culture where people build careers, not just log hours
Clear path into commissioning leadership, project execution, or field management
What They’re Looking For
3+ years supporting industrial electrical systems in the field
Ability to read, verify, and troubleshoot electrical designs and wiring
Comfortable working independently in customer-facing environments
Engineering degree or equivalent hands-on experience
If you like ownership, variety, and getting paid for the work you actually do… this is a role worth a look.
