This is a position for someone who:

• Serve as a trusted partner to clients and contractors

Operational Contributions

• Complete field reports, documentation, and time management

• Support scheduling and revenue targets

Team Development

• Mentor junior engineers and support training initiatives

What You Bring

Core Qualifications

• Electrical Engineering degree or Qualified Electrician background

• 7+ years in electrical systems OR 3+ years commissioning

• Data center or mission-critical experience

Technical Capabilities

Why FST

At FST, you are part of a team that values execution, accountability, and expertise. Strong performers are recognized, and engineers have opportunities to grow into leadership roles.

Salary range: $130,000-$170,000 - based on experience
