This is a home-based, field engineer position responsible for commissioning, maintaining, repairing, and occasionally modifying a range of power protection products, including battery-backed rotary UPS systems, diesel UPS systems, static UPS systems, and frequency converters.

Perform commissioning, maintenance, and repair of UPS systems and associated power protection products.

Maintain accurate service records and complete electronic and paper-based documentation.

Ensure compliance with safety procedures, permits for work, and risk assessments.
