Electrical Testing & Commissioning Engineer

Energy Storage & EV Fast Charging | North America Travel

Are you an electrical engineer who loves solving complex problems in the field? Do you get excited about cutting-edge energy technologies and hands-on commissioning work? If you thrive in fast-paced environments and want to be at the forefront of BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) and EV fast-charging infrastructure across North America, this role is for you.

We’re looking for a driven Electrical Testing & Commissioning Engineer to take the lead in commissioning, integrating, and maintaining advanced energy systems. You’ll be the technical expert on-site, ensuring installations run smoothly, systems perform flawlessly, and customers receive best-in-class support. This position reports directly to the Director of Hardware and plays a critical role in supporting the Operations team.

Key Responsibilities

System Integration & Commissioning

• Lead end-to-end installation and commissioning of EV fast chargers and BESS units, operating independently after onboarding or alongside field technicians as needed.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot PLCs and embedded controls (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or similar platforms).
• Integrate sensors, controllers, power electronics, and communication protocols into fully functioning systems.
• Participate in FAT, SAT, and UAT activities to validate system readiness and performance.
• Create detailed documentation on integration steps, site parameters, and test outcomes.

Maintenance & Quality Control

• Perform weekly and annual maintenance activities to keep systems operating reliably.
• Support QC testing for new deployments and upgrades, ensuring all equipment meets engineering and safety expectations.
• Review performance data, pinpoint root causes of issues, and apply corrective measures.
• Develop preventive maintenance procedures and contribute recommendations to strengthen long-term system health.

Electrical Design & Project Coordination

• Interpret electrical drawings, SLAs, and single-line diagrams to support planning and field execution (200+ SLAs).
• Work closely with project managers to ensure field work aligns with design requirements.
• Coordinate with electrical contractors and oversee site work to ensure compliance with safety codes, project specs, and schedules.
• Identify on-site deviations and update as-built documentation with accurate redlines.

On-Call & Field Support

• Provide on-call technical support in partnership with Customer Support for deployed systems.
• Troubleshoot high-priority issues remotely or on-site, ensuring quick and effective resolution.
• Prepare detailed field reports, visit summaries, and technical documentation for internal and client use.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Partner with engineering, manufacturing, and external teams to support knowledge sharing and product evolution.
• Offer field insights to help refine system design and enhance overall reliability.
• Participate in, and at times lead, special projects focused on integration, validation, or process optimization.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Science, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in electrical engineering, hardware integration, or system commissioning.
• Background in energy systems, industrial controls, or electrical power systems.
• Strong PLC programming skills (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or comparable tools).
• Experience with scripting/automation tools (Python, Bash, etc.) for testing and diagnostics.
• Ability to interpret schematics, blueprints, and wiring diagrams with accuracy.
• Skilled in reviewing and producing electrical packages and single-line diagrams.
• Familiarity with communication protocols including Modbus, CAN, TCP/IP, and OPC-UA.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office and data analysis software.
• Strong hands-on troubleshooting abilities with high-voltage equipment.
• Excellent communication, reporting, and project coordination skills.
• Able to work independently and handle extensive travel across North America.
• Comfortable participating in an on-call rotation during evenings, weekends, and holidays.
• Adaptable, resourceful, and energised by technical challenges.

You’ll be part of a high-impact engineering team building the future of energy storage and EV infrastructure. This is a role where your work directly shapes system performance, customer experience, and product evolution. If you’re looking for a career that mixes innovation, problem-solving, and real-world field action—this is it.
