  • Ensure all completed test documentation is properly maintained, both physically and electronically, within project folders.
  • Develop, maintain, and continuously improve testing procedures, work instructions, and testing forms.
  • Oversee testing equipment inventory and ensure proper calibration, availability, and safe usage.
  • Lead root cause analysis and quality improvement initiatives to reduce test cycle time and improve overall efficiency.
  • Enforce electrical safety standards, testing protocols, and housekeeping requirements across all test areas.
  • Perform and support hands-on electrical testing as needed, including functional and power testing.
Testing Scope Includes
  • Medium-voltage switchgear and breakers
  • Protective relays and relay panels
  • Power distribution components within enclosures
  • Communication systems and HMIs
  • Panelboards and automatic transfer switches
  • Fire alarm and auxiliary systems
  • HVAC and supporting electrical systems within the enclosure
Qualifications
  • Technical degree or equivalent experience in an electrical or power-related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in electrical or power equipment testing, ideally within substations, switchgear, or enclosure-based systems.
  • Strong hands-on experience with AC/DC functional testing of protective relays, MV switchgear, breakers, and arc-flash related systems.
  • Previous experience leading or managing test technicians or engineering teams.
  • Solid knowledge of electrical safety practices, NEC, IEEE standards, and applicable testing codes.
  • Experience producing and reviewing multiple detailed test reports per project (typically 8–10).
  • NETA certification is a plus.
